Cover Art Salon

Exhibition of printed cave publication covers

The purpose of the Cover Art Salon is to exhibit and encourage excellence in the design and images on the covers of cave publications.

ENTRIES: All entries must be mailed to Brian Killingbeck, 316 Tremont St., Apt 2, Chattanooga,TN 37405, accompanied by the entry form, and received no later than 25 March 2012. The entry fee is $6.00 per organization, regardless of the number of covers submitted. Please make checks or money orders payable to the "NSS." Covers must be from newsletters or other publications of NSS-affiliated organizations which were distributed in 2010 or 2011 and never before entered in this salon. Entries should be mailed unfolded and unmounted in a large envelope, preferably with a cardboard stiffener and accompanied by the entry form. Entries will be considered donations to the NSS and not returned.

CATEGORIES: Covers will be judged in one of three categories:

(1) Non-photographic
(2) Photographic
(3) Computer Enhanced

Please note on the back of each cover in which of the three categories you wish the entry to be judged. The "Computer Enhanced" category includes: (1) covers that were only distributed in an online format instead of the traditional paper format, and (2) cover photos that were obviously manipulated by computer from the way they were originally printed or shot. Print online covers out in paper form before submittal.

ENTRY FORM: The information on the entry form will be used as a display card beneath your entry.  Please cut out each display card prior to mailing so that it is ready for display.

JUDGING: Judging will occur prior to convention. Judges reserve the right to alter categories where deemed necessary.  If you have questions, e-mail Aaron at the address below.
