The 2015 Joint Regional Group Photographic Competition

(Before It's News)

c. Malcolm Nugent ‘Etna Beneath our Feet.’

There’s just under 2 weeks left to enter the 2015 joint photography competition, organised by a number of our Regional Groups!

With a theme of ‘Geologica Britannica: Exhibiting the Geology of the British Isles and Applied Geology in the British Isles’, the competition is open to all geologists, amateur or professional, living within the postal districts of the Southern Wales, West Midlands and North Western Regional Groups.

The competition is sponsored by Geotechnical Engineering Limited, with a top prize of £200, and a number of other prizes on offer.

For detailed rules, terms and conditions please visit www.geolsoc.org.uk/JointPhotoComp

To enter, email [email protected] – entries must be received by midnight on Monday 1st December!
