"Mining Rocks" Student Essay Contest Entries Due by 3/29/12

Mitsubishi Cement and MEEC are sponsoring a student essay contest on the theme "Mining Rocks!"  The essay can involve research from books, the Internet and/or mine employees, addressing how mining affects modern society while being sensitive to environmental issues, through such questions as:  how do mines reclaim habitat after mining is completed; identify a local mine and how the "rocks" can determine its location; what mining techniques, processes, and equipment are used to turn "rocks" into products; and others.

Prizes are available at a variety of categories from Kindergarten, grades 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.  Essays may not exceed 250 words, and submissions are due to MEEC, 14306 Park Avenue, Victorville, CA 92302, by no later than 5:00pm on 29 March 2012.  There will be an award ceremony on 19 April 2012.  For more information on requirements and prizes, visit http://www.meeconline.com/essay-contest-mining-rocks/ .
