Chairs: Brian Killingbeck, USA, and Badr Jabbour-Gédéon, Lebanon
The purpose of the Cover Art Salon is to exhibit and encourage excellence in the design and images on the covers of cave publications. Covers will be judged in one of three categories: (1) Computer Enhanced (2) Non-Photographic (3) Photographic. Please note the category on the back of each cover. The Computer Enhanced category includes: (1) covers that were distributed only in an online format instead of the traditional paper format, and (2) cover photographs that were obviously manipulated by computer from the way they were originally printed or shot. Print online covers on paper before submittal.
All entries must be mailed to Brian Killingbeck (863 Flynn St # 306 Chattanooga,TN 37403 USA), accompanied by the entry form, and received no later than 25 April 2009. The entry fee is $6.00 per organization, regardless of the number of covers submitted. Please make checks or money orders payable to "15th ICS." The entry fee may also be paid by Visa, MasterCard, or Discover, using the Salon Payment Page. Covers must be from newsletters or other publications of UIS-affiliated organizations that were distributed in 2007 or 2008. Entries should be mailed unfolded and unmounted in a large envelope, preferably with a cardboard stiffener. Entries will be considered donations to the UIS and not returned.
