DESCRIPTION: The T-shirt Salon is a judged exhibition of T-shirt designs related to caves or caving. All T-shirt 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, a grotto event, a section gathering, a meeting, a conference, or convention). T-shirts with designs on front and back may be entered as a single design or as two separate designs.
