Competition Announcement

I am Chair of the West Midlands Regional Group of the Geological Society and I'd like to let you know about a Photographic Competition that we are running in your area in partnership with our North West and Southern Wales counterparts as well as the Black Country Geological Society. It is not open to professionals (those who make more than half their annual income from photograph sales).

This year the Society is celebrating the bicentenary (200th year anniversary) of William Smith’s famous geological map ‘A Delineation of the Strata of England and Wales’.

With this theme in mind, we bring you the 3rd annual photographic competition on the theme of Geologica Britannica (exhibiting the Geology of the British Isles and Applied Geology in the British Isles) and sponsored by Geotechnical Engineering Ltd.

Full details of the competition and rules can be found at www.geolsoc.org.uk/JointPhotoComp - images will be selected by a panel of independent Judges and there will be 10 winners - first prize taking away £200 cash.
