Re: [APML] Astrofest Astrophoto Contest

["Mike Cook, AF9Y" <mwcook@concentric.net>]

There was a similar rule for the NIAG fest here in Indiana.  I felt it was an absurd rule 
so I submitted only one image in whatever category a "processed" film image could be 
submitted.  I won "Most Popular" image four years in a row using this approach without 
winning any of the "judged" categories.  This was the only award of interest to me 
anyway.  It makes you wonder if the rule makers are living in the dark ages (no light 
pollution).
