Celebrating the Mining Industry Through Photography
How often does anyone get a chance to compete on the basis of photography in the mining industry? We’d say, not that often. The Snowden competition became very popular during the past few years, because it offers a truly unique opportunity for photographers.
The Snowden photo competition is open to all amateur photographers, at least eighteen (18) years old at the time of entry.
Your entry must be a single work of original material and cannot be a composition of numerous images. You may submit a maximum of three photographs taken by yourself.
