Most Innovative Astronomy Outreach CompetitionFollowing a very successful "telescopes and skypecast from Lion's Head" event, this friendly competition is open to anyone interested in participating and without deadlines. Individuals or organisations are requested to think up innovative ways of doing astronomy outreach and report its implementation to the AstroNet email list or to info(at)astronomy2009.org.za. All entries will be published on this website and spread to the astronomy community. It may be something you are already doing that you consider innovative in terms of astronomy outreach. MTN Sciencentre, SAAO and World Federation for Science Journalists have set a good start with this Lion's Head Skypecast and telescope viewing. Entrants will be accepted without deadline and winners selected by voting later in the year. Prizes will be grand - besides the astronomical status it would bring to the individual/organisation, winners will be treated to a trip to Sutherland and a personal tour of SALT (accommodation and transport will be provided as long as you can make it to Cape Town - but we can negotiate :) ). Let your minds loose and let's get innovative with outreach!
