For several years, Andy Campbell, a professional photographer in Melbourne, Australia and a top-tier judge for Astrobin, has organized the Astrophotography Prize competition. One thing that distinguishes the competition is that Andy has assembled a team of professional judges from all over the world and holds open judging sessions streamed live. Contetants may also opt to receive written feedback on their work, which also sets the competition apart from others. The competition comprises first, second, and third-place awards across several different subject-matter categories. For those that don't finish on the podium recognition is also given in the form of Gold, Silver, and Highly Commended awards based on the judges' scoring.
