First up, congratulations to all of this years winners and runners-up.
As with most subjective competitions, there is always going to be some dissent on the judges final decision.
David (Malin) makes no apologies for this.
I for one have no problem with his selections, and in many ways prefer this to selection by a panel who can and do get it wrong as well (eg the Archibald's ).
CWAS has done a marvellous job of raising the profile of astronomical imaging in Oz. Literally 100's of thoushands of people end up seeing the roadshow images. Canon's sponsorship has also certainly helped.
But, if you don't like the rules, don't enter.
That said CWAS is also open to feedback so the event can evolve and give entrants truly national recognition for excellence in astrophotography.
