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.
HOW TO SUBMIT ENTRIES - All entries must be mailed to Kim Fleischmann (115 Stoneleigh Road, Bel Air,
MD 21014, USA) to arrive no later than Saturday, 11 July 2009, or delivered to Kim at the display area
