The Central West Astronomical Society is proud to announce that the submissions for the 2012 CWAS 'David Malin Awards' are now open.
The deadline for entry submissions is mid-night on Friday, 15 June 2012 (AEST).
The theme for this year's Open Themed Section is "Symmetries". The intention is to encourage people with vision and imagination, using simple equipment, such as a tripod and ordinary camera, to make attractive images that evoke interesting symmetries in the night sky.
For more information on the competition, the conditions of entry and to access the submissions page, see the following web site:
http://www.parkes.atnf.csiro.au/news...astrofest/DMA/
The 2012 CWAS "David Malin Awards" are proudly supported by CSIRO's Astronomy and Space Sciences, The Powerhouse Museum and Canon Australia.
Regards, John Sarkissian

There'll be lots of comet lovejoys, and no doubt lots of venus transits too.

Done for another year - finally submitted my entries.
I'd hoped to have been able to enter more Symmetry shots, but just never got/made the opportunity to plan and take some shots.
The widefield and solar system sections are going to be extremely well contested this year no doubt, with loads of celestial events to choose from..
- total lunar eclipse
- comet lovejoy
- transit of venus
plus the exponentially growing lot of widefield milkyway and nightscape photography type shots by some very talented people.
I can't wait to see the winners!

The symmetry section is going to be choc full of reflection images. It would take something outright spectacular to win this one -- a hard subject.
Didn't submit anything this year -- nothing to submit!

Yes I agree it's a hard subject! Been racking my brains trying to work out what to put in... I don't have much time left though!
