In 2009, the NSS Convention was held in conjunction with the International Congress of Speleology (ICS). All of the familiar NSS Salons were conducted as international events, so the rules for the UIS (Union International de Spéléologie) event were modified for the international audience.

The rules, requirements, and deadlines for the print competition were somewhat different from our usual event. You can find everything you need to know on the Print Salon page of the ICS web site.

Some important changes:
1.  There were a lot more categories for color prints.
2.  Half your entries could be prints that have been previously entered in prior salons.  Prints entered in prior ICS salons were not eligible for this salon.
3.  The maximum size for each print was reduced, and there was an overall limit on the size of the matted print.  This was due to the reduced amount of space that was available in Texas.
