The 2025 Astrophotography Prize is opening for entries on August 4th! Are you ready? Would you like some guidance from seasoned astrophotographers and judges on improving your entries?
Simply by submitting, you’ll go in the draw to win a pair of CELESTRON Skymaster Pro 15x70 Binoculars valued at $300 USD!
A panel of experienced astrophotographers from the AstroPrize judge team will lend their expertise to help you get your images competition-ready.
Attendees can submit up to three images for critique. Photos remain anonymous, and we won't discuss scores, but we will discuss steps that might help improve your images.
Interest in these sessions is usually high, so to ensure as many astrophotographers as possible receive feedback, we plan on going through everyone's #1 image; then, we'll work through 2's and 3's.
Critique submissions will close at 11pm on Tuesday, 29th July, OR when the critique fills up, so don't wait until the last second to submit!
Attendance is free and open to everyone. Whether you submit images for critique or want to watch, listen, and learn, it will be a brilliant evening.
We look forward to seeing your images and hope you will join us!
