Earth Science in our Lives – student writing competition
From our gadgets to our buildings, geology is everywhere. We want you to put your creative writing skills to use to tell us how geology shapes your life.
For students between the ages of 11 and 13, please write no more than 500 words, using one or more of these images as inspiration. Please ask your parent or guardian to submit your story for you.
For students between 14 and 18, you can write up to 800 words, using these images for inspiration.
Two winners will be chosen for each age group. The winners will receive their very own GSL Rock Pet, and some additional geology and Geological Society swag for good measure. The winning stories will be published on our blog.
