The 100 Hours of Astronomy judging committee has returned their final results!

Congratulations to all the clubs and individuals who have been chosen. Your efforts, insight, and commitment have inspired us all and we are honoured that you helped to make this project such an unprecedented success.

For those of you who submitted an award application but did not win, please know that judging for these awards was very difficult. The calibre of the events overall was amazing! If we had twice as many prizes to award, we could easily have chosen twice as many winners, we definitely were impressed with all the submissions.

We will highlight our 8 major winners from all categories below on our website shortly.
