three pictures per category which were<br />

then submitted to a public online vote<br />

in order to determine the five category<br />

winners. Judging was based on creativity,<br />

technical quality, geological content<br />

and the quality and accessibility of the<br />

explanation to the general public.<br />

In July 2012, postcards of the winning<br />

pictures and a book presenting the<br />

15 most popular pictures of the competition<br />

were produced. EFG and EGS are<br />

delighted with the quality of the entries<br />

received and were proud to present the<br />

photo book and the postcards at the<br />

34th International Geological Congress<br />

at Brisbane as a tangible demonstration<br />

of the fruitful cooperation between<br />

EFG and EGS over many years. This<br />

cooperation helps both to cement<br />

relationships and mutual understanding<br />

between different sectors of professional<br />

geoscience and to bring the<br />

excitement, beauty and importance of<br />

the study and practice of geology to the<br />

attention of the wider public.<br />
