T-Shirt Salon
Exhibition of T-shirts related to caves or caving
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), or have a caving theme. T-shirts with designs on front and back may be entered as a single design or as two separate designs. The art work submitted must be entirely that of the artist, or, if a collaborative effort, permission must be received from all artists and/or organizations involved.
HOW TO SUBMIT ENTRIES: All entries must be mailed to Blake Jordan (11 N. Central Avenue, Suite 11, Staunton, VA 24401) to arrive two weeks prior to the beginning of the convention (June 26, 2023). 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 Blake 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. Two T-shirts must be provided for all two-sided designs, for display purposes.
ENTRY FEES: The entry fee is $3.00 for the entrant's first entry and $1.00 for each additional entry. PayPal is preferred;" 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, T-Shirts may be submitted for display but not judging.
