Event created by Marco Rocchetto
As you might have read, the March 2024 contest will be the last one for a while (at least until we launch TL4 - the new version of the platform).
However, we're not stepping back in silence; we're making a grand exit with the most monumental contest Telescope Live has ever hosted, in collaboration with Practical Astrophotography magazine.
A Partnership Like No Other
Practical Astrophotography magazine has partnered with us to bring this unprecedented contest to life.
This contest isn't just another competition; it's a chance to achieve global recognition and showcase your work on an international stage.
Unparalleled Prizes Await
-
Cover Feature: The contest winner will have their image featured on the cover of Practical Astrophotography magazine's May issue.
-
An entire magazine page dedicated to you: The winner will also earn a spot in the "Astrophotographer Spotlight" section, where he will showcase other of his astro masterpieces along with a brief bio.
-
A Tangible Tribute: The winner will receive a complimentary physical copy of the magazine featuring his artwork on the cover, a testament to their skill and dedication.
-
A Bounty of TL Credits: For the first time, we're offering 250 TL credits, valued at $375, as the ultimate prize, consolidating the usual total prize pool into one monumental award.
Honorable Mention
In addition to the grand prize, we're thrilled to introduce an Honorable Mention category, where the winner of this category will have his work still featured in the magazine.
This category celebrates the effort and creativity in processing, offering a chance for astrophotographers at any skill level to be recognized and still be published in Practical Astrophotography magazine.
How to Participate
For this contest, there will be only one winner - aside from the honorable mention, of course. For this reason, the rules for this contest will be more straightforward than those for past competitions.
