ESO invites you to take part in the second Photo Nightscape Awards (PNA) — an international photo nightscape competition for astrophotographers. As a partner in the competition organised by Ciel et Espace Photos, ESO will award the first place winner of the Nightscape category a trip to Paranal, home of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in northern Chile.
The competition categories are: Nightscape, In Town and Timelapse, and they are open to photographers from all countries. The PNA Junior categories for ages 9–12 and 13–17 years are reserved for French nationals only.
The award ceremony will take place on 7 November 2015, at the planetarium of the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris, where a selection of the best photographs and timelapses will also be placed on display.
All photos must have been taken between 1 January 2015 and 30 September 2015.
The deadline for submitting the photos is 30 September 2015.
