Scott Mellish was a long time and valued member of the Astronomical Society of NSW. His knowledge of amateur astronomy and dedication to observation and sketching was unrivalled within the society and much admired by all those who knew him.

In honour of his memory, the ASNSW is proud to announce that the Scott Mellish Amateur Sketching or Drawing Competition is run in conjunction with the annual South Pacific Star Party (SPSP). The competition aims to promote the art of Sketching and Drawing within the world-wide amateur astronomical community.
