Congratualtions to Ashleigh who wins the memory stick. I liked these organic looking fluvial features in South Africa, and in particular how she got the background colour of the poster to match the colour of the river.Very clever!

This competition is open to everyone from Year 7 to 9. All you have to do is find a special place on the Earth, capture a picture and add a suitable caption. The idea is to visualize the Earth as a pice of art. Here’s an example:

There will be prizes for the best ones. I’m looking for originality, creativity, inspiration and a good choice of words to accompany the image. I’ll publish the best ones as well. To get going, do the following:

How to:

1. Start Google Earth, or use this site: NASA Our Earth as Art
2. Browse around until you find a spectacular place.
3. Make a screenshot. (Cntrl + Print Screen)
4. Crop the image if necessary.
5. Upload the image to the Flickr Motivator tool.
6. Add a suitable title and (optional) caption.
7. Download the finished image to your computer.
8. Email it to me at: NJenkins@educ.somerset.gov.uk

The original teaching idea comes from this web site.
Can you do better than this?

I’m not sure I could. However there will be a prize for the best entry.

Closing date for entries to be emailed to me: 5th July
