ON-LINE PHOTOGRAPHY
AND IMAGE CONTEST
|
|
This week marks the first year anniversary of the Rabaul Caldera eruption
and subsequent heightened awareness of volcanology on the World Wide Web.
In attempts to continue this effort, the MTU Volcanoes Page (also
celebrating its one year anniversary this month!) is sponsoring an
ON-LINE PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGE CONTEST.
PURPOSE:
-
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Then again, photographs of erupting volcanoes are beyond words. Our purpose here is to provide an on-line repository of volcanological related imagery to the WWW. The "contest" part is to help raise awareness and make it fun!
CATEGORIES:

that are dormant or in repose. For example: Mt. Fuji, Cotopaxi,
