I was delighted to receive an email this morning from the RGO, whom had shortlisted two of my entries in this year's comp.
http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery20.html
and
http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery45.html
But as Strongmanmike has pointed out, they may be ineligible, as the time and print restrictions to entries may all apply to all images, not just "newcomer" entrants as I first thought.
As a result, I've emailed the RGO and sought clarification (the M104 image is probably OK as new data was added in May 2009) ....I figure you gotta play by the rules!
