The 2005 Cartographic Salon will be held during the NSS Convention in Huntsille, Alabama July 4-8, 2005. Jim Kennedy is this year's Salon Coordinator. Maps can delivered to Jim by noon on the Monday of convention week. For those who want to mail in their entires, details will posted as soon as they are available.

There is no entry fee. Entries will be considered to have been donated to the NSS unless picked up by the cartographer on the afternoon of Friday, July 8th, 2005, 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. Entries must be representations of caves or karst-related features. Enter copies of maps rather than originals. There is no restriction on method of presentation and innovative techniques are encouraged. Entries will be divided into three categories (Apprentice, Experienced, and Master-Professional) at convention. Judging will occur at convention. Include a self-portrait preferably as a digital image [a slide is acceptable] if you wish it shown at the awards ceremony. Maps may be displayed in the salon, but not judged at the entrant’s option. No cave map will be reproduced by the NSS without the owner’s explicit permission, except for display during the convention.
