The theme is a chance to explore the geodiversity that lies just beyond our own threshold, and asks people to recognise the geodiversity where they are from, where they live, and in their everyday lives. This theme brings together two submissions who we co-credit with the theme: Martina Stupar of Slovenia, and Naomi Irapta of the Philippines.
