“
The enthusiasm to contribute to the
Snowden photographic competition is
unabated and although the quantity of
entries was slightly less this year, the
overall quality was better. There has
been a noticeable improvement in the
standard,” said Richard Woldendorp.
Snowden Chief Executive Officer
Craig Morley commented on the themes
running through the submissions this
year. “We had a lot of photographs on
sustainability and revegetation, and the
community elements of mining. These
are reflective of a global industry that
is a part of our lives; one where the
future needs to be managed as well as
the present.
“
Having been in the industry for 25
years, Snowden has seen the mining
booms and busts come and go. It is great
to see the photos submitted reflecting a
theme of an evolving industry that is
also planning for a sustainable future.”
