Scientific paper

As well as extending the borders of our knowledge of the universe, one of the tasks of Astronomy is to communicate these efforts to the public and to encourage the emergence of the next generation of astronomers. The Dutch graduate school "NOVA" recently organised "WINT", a competition amongst high school students throughout the Netherlands. At stake for the forty or so contestants, from which four winners had to be selected, was a trip to La Palma and share in two nights of observing time with the Wide Field Camera at the 2.5m INT (the name of the project means "winning" in Dutch, as well as being the acronym for "observing time at the INT").
