Please spread the news. It’s time to capture nature in all its glory by taking photos of Flora and Fauna on your operational quarries, partly or fully restored sites or any site plant. Then send in your images and compete for a range of prizes and inclusion in the MPA Quarries and Nature 2021 event and possible inclusion in MPA calendars for 2022 or 2023.

Member Employees & Contractors Category

Entering could not be easier. Just send your images (up to 5 – between 1MB and 5MB each in size) which should be sent as separate emails direct to MPA at naturephotos@mineralproducts.org – please read terms and conditions. These can be images of species (both Fauna and Flora) and habitats (including their landscape setting) found on operational quarries, partly or fully restored sites. Full details are available here or download this flyer, which can also be shared with colleagues.

The competition is open until 16^th September 2021 and any photos entered must have been taken between 1^st January 2020 and 15^th September 2021. Winners will be announced and showcased at the MPA Quarries and Nature event in Autumn 2021. There are two categories – firstly, for employees from our member companies and company contractors, and secondly, for volunteers at restored mineral sites.

Volunteers Category

The flyer for the Volunteers category is available here. Please circulate this to your partners from wildlife and nature conservation organisations so that they can promote the competition to their volunteers.
