SME Photo Contest Open to All Industry Members
Sponsored by the coal & energy division of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration Inc. (SME), the 2017 SME photo contest is open to all interested photo enthusiasts.
The theme is “Innovations in Technology,” and judges will be looking for images of innovation within the mining, minerals and related industries. Be creative with your entry; photos of drone usage, autonomous vehicles, radar and lidar control, unique safety gear and new technical improvements in the industry are all excellent subjects.
Winning entries will be showcased at the 2017 SME Annual Conference & Expo and 119th CMA National Western Mining Conference, February 19-22 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. More than 6,500 attendees will see the winning entries displayed onsite at the conference, and the images will be published on the SME website and Facebook pages. Each participant may submit up to three images for consideration. The contest is open to all industry members; no conference registration is required. First, second and third place prizes include cash and a one-year SME membership.
Entries will be accepted via an online portal through Wednesday, January 13, 2017.
