Not sure when these details were placed on the web (possibly this weekend!) but they're open again! Seems earlier this year. I guess we'll get the email from John Sarkissian soon!
I was initially looking for the 2011 awards remaining tour dates and locations which are:
Scienceworks, Melbourne - until 1 April 2012
Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium, Brisbane - 13 April 2012 - 24 May 2012
The Science Exchange, Adelaide - 4 June 2012 - 15 July 2012
The themed section is Symmetry which will be interesting (I've got some ideas already!).
Extracts from the
CWAS website:
The Central West Astronomical Society is proud to announce the 2012 CWAS "David Malin Awards".
This year's competition continues to build on the experience of previous years to help make it the premier competition of its kind in Australia. The competition this year will have three sections of entry - General Section, Open Themed Section and a Junior Section (18 and under). The general section is divided into five categories; Wide-field (camera shots), Deep Sky (telescope shots), Solar System Objects - Hi-Resolution (<30') and Wide Field (> 30') - and a category for Animated Sequences. The Junior Section will have one open category and entries can be of any astronomical subject.
The Competition Structure:
- General Section:
- Wide-Field
- Deep Sky
- Solar System
- Hi-Resolution (<30')
- Wide-Field (>30')
- Animated Sequences
- Junior Section (18 and under) - One Open Category (can be of any astronomical subject)
- Open Themed Section - "Symmetries"
- The "David Malin Innovation Prize" may be awarded, at Dr Malin's discretion, for a striking astronomical image that shows exceptional imagination, innovation or an unusual approach in any of the categories.
....."Symmetries" - pictures that emphasise symmetries between objects in the sky, between the sky and the land or water (or other reflective surface), or that in some way suggest or evoke such symmetries through imaginative concepts and ideas.
Entries close at midnight on Friday, 15 June 2012 (AEST).
