AGI Announces a New, Global Earth Science Week Contest

The American Geological Institute (AGI) is sponsoring a new contest in conjunction with both Earth Science Week and The International Year of Planet Earth. In addition to the Photo, Essay, and Visual Art contests offered each year as part of Earth Science Week, a new global photography contest, “Exploring Earth Science Around the World,” has been developed.

This competition is open to anyone worldwide with images eligible from anywhere around the world, all in celebration of The International Year of Planet Earth. Entrants are encouraged to submit images that highlight the beauty and power of earth processes. Pictures of landforms, bodies of water, weather, and more that depict geosciences exploration and research that is occurring across the planet are ideal.
