The 2024 CWAS
"David Malin Awards"
"David Malin Awards"
In September 2024, the Central West Astronomical Society held its annual astrophotography competition. Amateur astronomers and photographers from around Australia were invited to take part in the competition and to submit their astrophotographs for consideration in the prestigious "David Malin Awards". These are the winning images.
The Theme for the 2025 Competition
"People and Sky"
Including people in night-time images is challenging but rewarding. Many photographers include people interacting with the night sky in their photographs, and this special section is intended to encourage the exploration of the emotional and human elements of astronomy. As always, the content must be dominated by an astronomical object (or objects). The images must be single exposures, not a composite, except for High Dynamic Range (HDR) and panoramic images. The intention is to encourage people with vision, imagination and creativity, using simple equipment, such as a tripod and ordinary camera, to make attractive images of people interacting with the night sky.
The CWAS "David Malin Awards" are proudly supported by CSIRO and the Powerhouse Museum
