AGI Announces 2015 Earth Science Week Competitions: Photography, Visual Arts, and Essay Contests

Students, geoscientists, and the general public are invited to participate in this year’s photography contest, “Earth Systems Interacting.” Entries must be composed of original, unpublished material, and show at least one Earth system affecting another Earth system in your community.

This year’s visual arts contest, “Picturing Earth Systems,” is open to students in grades K-5. How might you creatively depict Earth systems in your artwork?

Finally, students in grades 6 through 9 may participate in the essay contest. This year’s essays must address the idea of “Earth Science Visualization Today.” Explain one way that geoscientists’ use of cutting-edge visualization is advancing Earth science today.

Submissions will be judged by a panel of geoscientists on creativity, relevance, and incorporation of the topic at hand. Selected winners will be awarded for their submissions. For details, please visit http://www.earthsciweek.org/contests/index.html.

Earth Science Week 2015 will be celebrated October 11-17. To learn more, please visit http://www.earthsciweek.org/. To order your Toolkits, please visit http://www.earthsciweek.org/materials/index.htm or call AGI Publications at 703-379-2480.
