The latest Descent (232) page 5 announces two new Cave Survey competitions to be introduced at Hidden Earth 2013.

The first competition will be for a Cave Survey salon to be judged by delegates.
The second competition will be for a digital Cave Survey submitted to the BCA Cave Survey Registry during the twelve months prior to Hidden Earth and which will be judged by the BCRA Cave Surveying Group appointed judge(s).

The first prize for each will be a Disto X310 donated by Leica Geosystems.
Leica Geosystems have donated sufficient prizes for three years.

Full details of the competition rules and how to enter will be posted on the Hidden Earth website.
