of symbolic emblems (patches, decals, pins, etc) related to caves or caving.
DESCRIPTION: The Symbolic Emblem Salon is a judged exhibition of symbolic emblems (posters, logos, patches, decals, pins, etc.) related to caves or caving. All symbolic emblem designs must be representative of a caving-related or karst-related organization (such as a caving club, grotto, section, or conservancy) or of a caving-related or karst-related event (such as a caving club event, grotto event, section gathering, meeting, conference, or convention). The Salon Chair will decide if a proposed entry fits the description of a symbolic emblem and is accepted for judging. Items that the Salon Chair determines do not fit the description may be accepted for display in a nearby area. If in doubt, please contact the Salon Chair in advance to discuss your proposed entry.
HOW TO SUBMIT ENTRIES: All entries must be mailed to Kim Fleischmann (115 Stoneleigh Road, Bel Air, MD 21014, USA) to arrive no later than Saturday, June 16, 2012, or delivered to Kim at the display area for this Salon (check NSS Convention program for location) by 12:00 PM Sunday, June 24, 2012. For each entry, complete and print the entry form or contact Kim to obtain entry forms via post. Entry forms will be available for completion in the display area for items delivered at the Convention. Entries will be considered to have been donated to the NSS unless otherwise specified when submitted.
ENTRY FEES: The entry fee is $3.00 for the entrant's first entry and $1.00 for each additional entry. Cash is preferred; checks should be payable to “National Speleological Society.” T-shirt Salon entry fees are separate from the Symbolic Emblem Salon entry fees.
JUDGING: A panel of judges will judge all entries during the Convention. At the entrant’s option, symbolic emblems may be submitted for display but not judging.
