Hello everyone,
Many of you may be aware of the passing of a champion of Astronomical sketching, Scott Mellish. The
Astronomical Society of New South Wales in Australia has organised an Astronomical sketching competition in his honour.
The Scott Mellish Sketching Competition is an international competition.
Entry details, rules and the required submission template are all available on the competition link.
Any questions you may have you can use the competition's email address,
sketchingcomp@asnsw.com , or here on this IIS thread.
Note that judging is done by way of popular vote on the 21st of April this year at the
South Pacific Star Party in Australia. Entries need to be received before then for inclusion. There are two categories, Deep Sky and Solar System, and upto 2 entries per category are permitted.
PLEASE read the rules carefully as this is a "pencil and paper" competition only.
The "template" is the perscribed way that a sketch needs to be presented for submission to provide a standardised form. The sketch can be done either on white or black paper, but needs to be laid out following the template.
Many thanks to the Iceman for making this thread possible.
Good luck and clear skies,
Alex.
