If there was a competition with a specific DSLR category Id be interested in submitting something.
The other problem for me is that I like imaging things that have rarely, if ever been seen in colour. eg the only time I saw the three Menzel planetaries in colour was when I imaged them, but "faint fuzzies" and obscure objects dont score well in photography comps.

Nevertheless astrophotography comps show how amateurs are catching up to the professionals, big observatories dont do much imaging now days, its mostly spectroscopy and photometry (HST excepted of course)
