    2008 Geotechnical Photo Contest: Send photos and win books!
    A special Announcement
    		 November 2008
    Greetings

    last year, Geoengineer.org announced the "Geoengineer.org Photo Gallery". We also established the 2007 Photo Contest Competition and we invited you to send us photos and win prizes. Your photo submissions resulted in a collection of more than 440 photos making our gallery probably the largest collection of geo-photos online.

    The response to the "2007 Geoengineer.org Photo Contest" was so enthusiastic that we are now pleased to extend the contest to this year. Similarly to last year, we invite you to send us photos for inclusion in our database and win geotechnical books!

    Below you will find the instructions on how you can participate to the contest and a list of the geotechnical books you could win.

    We are looking forward to your photos!

    On behalf of the Geoengineer.org team,

    Dimitrios Zekkos, Ph.D., P.E.

    Managing Director of Geoengineer.org
    Assistant Professor, Geotechnical Group.

    2008 Geotechnical Photo Contest

    You are invited to submit photos for inclusion in our gallery. When submitting a photo, please provide the following info:

    1. Description of the photo submitted
    2. Photographer's name (if available)
    3. Sender's name (if different)
    4. Approximate date that the photo was taken
    5. All photos must be of high resolution
    The photographer's name will be added in the photo. All contributions will be acknowledged at our website and newsletter. Geotechnical books will be given as prices to:

    1. The individual who sends the largest number of photos
    2. An individual selected randomly in a lottery
    So help us build the greatest Geoengineering photo gallery and win your book!
