Geographical Association Photo Competition

    The theme for this year’s competition is ‘Earth Sculpture’.

What's involved

We know that physical geography shapes the land and the sky, but we don't often stop to notice and really appreciate our environment, and how physical geography processes have shaped what we see around us. So here is the perfect opportunity to encourage your students to go out and explore Earth’s land and atmospheric forms.

To take part, students take a photo and write an interesting and informative description of the physical geography they have captured, then submit to the competition website before the close of the competition on Friday 11 September 2015.

The competition website includes advice and suggestions for discovering examples of physical geography plus tips for creating a good entry.
