I know it is a little early to be thinking about Earth Science Week (which occurs in mid-October every year), but the yearly contest has been announced! Every year earthsciweek.org offers a $500 prize for the winners. Now, you have plenty of time to make the perfect entry, as the due date is October 19th!
There are three different competitions. One for photography, one for visual entries, and one for a written composition. Each section has its own theme. For full rules and info, head to the site below.

Good luck to you all!

This is a great way to increase students' interests in Earth Science. For the photography and visual entries, it is also great way for students to express their artistic abilities.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was great way to encourage multimodality for my students, as well as getting students who may not have the best writing skills to feel accomplished and validated with in their visual learning.
