Exhibition of cave and karst-related
maps
ENTRIES - Cave cartographers are invited to submit entries for the Cartographic Salon. This competition blends technical expertise and artistic depiction. Entries must be representations of caves or karst-related
features. No more than five maps may be entered
by any cartographer. Enter copies of maps rather than originals. There is no restriction
on method of presentation and innovative techniques are encouraged. All entries
must include the Entry Form and be mailed to the Chair at the address below (be sure
to clearly label the package "Cartographic Salon"), to arrive
no later than June 1, 2012, or delivered to the Cartographic Salon exhibition
area at the NSS Convention by 9 a.m. Monday, June 25, 2012. If space
allows, additional maps may be displayed in the Salon but not judged, at
the entrant's option.
ENTRY FEE - There is no entry fee. Submitted maps are assumed to be entered for judging. Entries are considered to
have been donated to the NSS unless picked up by the cartographer on the afternoon
of Friday, June 29, 2012, or otherwise specified when submitted. If you wish
your entry returned by mail, please provide $5 postage cost. If you want someone
else to pick up your entry, please specify this in writing when the entry is
submitted.
CATEGORIES - Entries will be divided into three categories:
-- Apprentice - first-time entrants
--
Experienced - those having won a previous award in the Salon
--
Master-Professional - those who are paid professional cartographers or who have previously won the Medal
JUDGING - Judging will occur during the convention.
