HOW TO ENTER

Preparing your photographs for submission:

It is recommended you submit your images at a high-quality setting of JPG, being aware of any loss of quality due to JPG compression and choosing an appropriate compression ratio.

There is no minimum size specified for entries of photographs however it is recommended that to permit fair judging you submit astrophotography images with a width of no smaller than 2000 pixels, or as close to this as possible (realising that this may not be practical for subjects such as planetary photographs). Similarly, for video sequences it is recommended you submit these in HD format as a minimum.

When preparing your photographs or video sequences for submission we strongly suggest you use a colour calibrated screen to ensure correct and fair representation. We will not alter your photographs or video sequences to colour match them, they will be taken as-is.

​We request that timelapse video sequences and astrophotos are submitted without watermarks or credits identifying the creator to enable anonymous judging. Credits will be attached to each photo chosen for the exhibition, and we will request a version of selected timelapse entrants with credits included for display. 

Read the Terms and Conditions:

For eligibility criteria please refer to the Terms & Conditions.
