Each year, at its annual convention, the NSS hosts juried salons of art related to caves and caving. The salons provide an outlet for members' talents and showcase the world of caves. Some are judged at the convention; others must be judged beforehand.
This year's NSS Convention will be in Bellingham, Washington on 7-11 August. The salon evening program on Thursday night is a major attraction for attendees; in addition to announcing the salon awards, the show features spectacular slide, multi-media, and video programs. The other salons are on exhibit throughout the convention week.
Now is the time to start thinking about entering your work in the salons, as the entry deadlines are fast approaching. Here are the salons and their deadlines:
* CARTOGRAPHIC SALON (cave maps) -- July 1st.
* CAVE BALLAD SALON (recorded music) -- May 15th.
* COVER ART SALON (newsletters and publications) -- April 1st (but probably can be extended)
* FINE ARTS SALON (drawings, paintings, sculpture, other) - July 15th.
* MULTI-IMAGE SALON (multi-media and PowerPoint) -- July 1st.
* PRINT SALON (photographic prints) -- August 6th.
* SLIDE SALON (photographic slides & digital images) -- April 15th.
* SYMBOLIC EMBLEM SALON (patches, decals, pins) -- July 29th.
* T-SHIRT SALON (caving T-shirts) -- August 7th.
* VIDEO SALON (films and videos) -- May 1st.
Information concerning each salon, rules for entry, and contact info can be found on the NSS website at: www.caves.org/committee/salons/
The website also features images of last year's winners, including sound recordings (mp3) and video clips (.mpg).
Be sure *your* fine work is included in the 2006 NSS Salons.
