According to the contest criteria the submitted images are taken since
the beginning of 2012 and are all created in the "TWAN style"—showing
both the Earth and the sky—by combining elements of the night sky set in
the backdrop of the Earth horizon, often with a notable scenery or
landmark.
Known as "landscape astrophotography" this is similar to
general "Nightscape Photography" but with more attention to the sky,
astronomical perspectives, and celestial phenomena. The contest special
attention to preserving night sky as part of our natural heritage is to
support global efforts in controlling light pollution (International
Dark Sky Association).
