The Central West Astronomical Society is proud to announce the 2009 CWAS "David Malin Awards". In the International Year of Astronomy, these prestigious awards are taking on a new and larger dimension.
In partnership with the Powerhouse Museum, the annual touring exhibition will travel to our regular venues. In addition, a second parallel exhibition will travel to regional areas across Australia, enabling significantly more venues and centres to become involved. This extension to the programme is being supported by the Australian Government and is funded with assistance from the Science Connections Program within the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research as a major activity of IYA2009.
Last yearıs exhibition was a resounding success with over 130,000 people viewing the touring exhibition. This yearıs exhibition will be much bigger and will be a retrospective, including category winners from the five previous ³David Malin Awards² since 2004. It will be one of the premier events of the IYA in Australia, and people from all walks of life, and all over Australia, will be given the opportunity to view the photographs and appreciate the efforts and skills of the nationıs finest amateur astrophotographers.
Help make the IYA a great success and share with the wider public the grandeur and beauty of astronomy.
