The Symbolic Emblem Salon is a judged exhibition of symbolic emblems (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. This year there will be two categories, Emblems and Posters. Items that will be accepted in the Emblems category include patches, pins, stickers, mugs, key-chains, coins and other traditional display items for logos. Items that will be accepted in the Posters category include posters, postcards, brochures and other paper media. Items that the Salon Chair determines to not meet the criteria for either of these categories will not be judged, but may be accepted for display in a nearby area. If in doubt, please contact the Salon Chair in advance to discuss your proposed entry. All entries must be mailed to Dave Decker (5117 Fairfax Dr. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114, USA) to arrive one week prior to the beginning of the convention (29 JULY, 2013). This is to allow time for presentation set up and documentation. Items that arrive after that date, or are delivered at convention will not be accepted for the current year’s competition, but will be automatically entered in the following year’s competition. For each entry, complete and print the entry form or contact Dave to obtain entry forms via post. Entry forms will be available for completion in the display area for items submitted for the following year’s competition. Entries will be considered to have been donated to the NSS unless otherwise specified when submitted. 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. All entrants retain copyright and all moral and intellectual rights to their work. Credit will be included with all objects displayed. If you have questions, send e-mail to emblemsa...@caves.org.
