DEVELOPING LOCAL TALENT: OUR DYNAMIC EARTH LAUNCHES
PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

Visitors to Our
Dynamic Earth throughout October are being invited to vote for the country's
top young photographic talent. From -31 October, the capital's five star
visitor attraction will display the winning entries from the monthly heats of
its ‘Earth Heroes' photography competition, which has been running for the past
six months. The five finalist's entries will be hung in the main entrance,
where visitors to the attraction can vote for their favourite image. The
winner, announced at the end of October, will have their photograph
professionally printed and displayed at Our Dynamic Earth for one year. The
finalists can be viewed from 9 October at www.dynamicearth.co.uk

Eilidh Massie, marketing
executive, commented: "This competition has really captured the imagination of
the public and it has been great to see the extremely high standard of the
entries flowing in over the past six months. We have received outstanding shots
of everything from action shots of Canadian bears catching salmon to a daisy
struggling against the harsh winter.  The
five finalists are all very different and it will be a challenge for the public
vote to choose an overall winner!"

Throughout
October, Our Dynamic Earth is offering one free child ticket with every two
adult tickets purchased. For more information visit www.dynamicearth.co.uk
