The exhibition will demonstrate relevance and significance of engineering geology for territory protection under natural and anthropogenic hazards and focus attention of young generation on these issues. It is extremely important for the photographs taken to be as informative as possible so that they may be used it in reports, presentations, articles, books and for educational purposes.

Better pictures will be posted at the showcase for voting, held during the conference. A committee will consider the scientific and aesthetic quality of each photograph. The best pictures will be selected in a competition under categories:

1. Endogenous geological (including seismic) hazards
