2. PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION, MINE & QUARRY RELATED (CAMERA CLUB)

The site in question is www.aditnow.co.uk which is primarily a meeting point and discussion forum for the mine exploration community but also exists to document our fragile and disappearing mining and quarrying heritage through photography. The site is frequented by a good number of keen photographers of both above and below ground relics.

This is the first year we have run a photographic competition, and this year’s subject is "what we've left behind". We hope that running a competition will push forward the standard of relevant above and below ground photography and better document and preserve this important part of our industrial heritage. Something we are lucky to have in abundance in Wales.

We've decided this year to focus mainly on above ground photography, in order that the competition is open to a wider audience by allowing entries from people who might have an interest in mining and quarrying history and who photograph surface remains but do not venture underground. To that end at least two of the (maximum) three submitted photographs must be above ground. One photograph may be an underground subject if the entrant so wishes. All photographs must be mine or quarry related and must be true to the subject.
