Youth Attendance Effort

Youth participation is a focus for the Convention and are inviting Youth of High School age up thru 25. We are offering Youth a ~50%+ discount on the Convention Admission fee.

 Send an email to msral2026@asemonline.org to see if funds are available to help sponsor your attendance to the Convention and

to streamline your registration. These will be used on a “first come, first served” basis to pay for certain Convention fees.

Youth Sponsor program: Youth attendance can be sponsored in two ways:

1. Anyone can register and pay for a Student now via Zeffy.

2. You can donate to a general Youth Sponsor Fund via Zeffy. 

YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO FUND THIS, AND ANY DONATIONS WILL BE KEPT IN STRICT CONFIDENCE. The funds will be used in the following way:

a. Used to pay for certain Convention fees for Youth on a “first come, first served” basis.

b. All remaining funds, if any, will be donated to the MSRAL Central Committee to be used for Youth at the next convention.

Registration / Fees: REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW. See the MSRAL 2026 website and Registration tab for details. We are doing our best to keep costs low so that we can attract as many attendees as possible.

Astrophotography and Astro-art Contest: The contest includes a Youth-only category. See the Contest tab for more information.
