I was discussing this very point with local amateur Chris Thomas the other day.
With regular photo comps, there are Open sections and Novice sections. IF you have won as a Novice, you may only enter in the Open section, but a Novice may enter in both Open and Novice.
The larger the competition, the more sections should be available. But on the other hand, small comps, such as QLD Astrofest, their aren't enough entries to divide it according to the type of camera used and fill each section.
( But if they split the comp into Solar System and DSO that would be fantastically good, hint hint
)
Myself, I enter the QLD Astrofest astro photo comp every year. Not with any intention of winning, though that would be nice.
But I truly believe that it isn't a competition without lots of entries. The more entries, the better. Fill that wall, and give the punters something to look at.
