One thing narrowband needs to be compared with narrowband as it is not everyone's taste yet it is definitely a large part of the art.
Star clusters may not need to be a category but I doubt a nice glob image would win.
Galaxies need to be a category though as anyone who has imaged galaxies knows they are a different type of approach than nebulas
with their acquistion strategy, different processing techniques yet almost any scope can capture the brighter galaxies.

Intergalatic would include Galaxies either singular or in clusters and for the reason you point out great. Although how do you deal with the LMC and SMC? They are both wide field and intergalactic.
Yes narrow band is a tough one, however narrow band has once before taken out the overall winner.
Globs on the other hand are a little like planetary. Planetary is probably never going to win the overall winner category. Not unless Anthony, Steffan or myself can produce an image the same size as Damian does. Even then I doubt it will attract an overall winner.
I think my M42 (accordig to Wayne) won a HM.
