There will be the Second TAG Fall Cave-In "Cavers Choice" Map/Photo/Art Salon at the Dogwood City Grotto booth/salon area on Vendors Row during the 31st TAG Fall Cave-In. Attendees will get to vote for their favorite maps/photos/art. Voting will occur from 8 p.m. Friday evening to 6 p.m. Saturday. So cartographers, photographers, and artists, please bring your latest works to show at the Cave-In! And everyone, come on over and vote for your favorite! There are three sets of rules that follow.
Rules for the Map Salon:
1. There will be two categories, large caves and small caves - the cutoff in length will be determined based on the entries.
2. Maps that have already won a "major" award (Best of Show or First Place) at an NSS Salon (NSS Convention, SERA Winter Business Meeting...) are ineligible for the contest (you already got recognition). Lesser awards such as honorable mention or merit awards are okay.
3. Maps cannot be more than 5 years old.
4. Any maps that don't meet criterion 2 and 3 along with any unfinished maps can be entered "For Show Only" and will be displayed as space permits.
5. Maps can be dropped off at the KVART booth on vendors row before 7 p.m. on Friday evening. Brent Aulenbach will be in the map salon area to accept and set up maps between 7 and 8 pm on Friday evening. Any maps brought after 8 p.m. on Friday can still be entered, but you will have to follow the self serve registration directions located in the map salon area and hang up your own map with the provided supplies. Note that voting will start at 8 p.m. on Friday evening, so you may miss out on some possible votes for your map if you enter it after this time - o well...
6. Please enter only copies of maps as damage to maps is possible.
7. Voting will start at 8 p.m. on Friday evening and will end at 6 p.m. on Saturday night.
8. All Cave-In attendees (including entrants) are allowed one ballot in which they can vote for their first and second favorite maps in both the large and small cave categories.
9. Maps will get two points for each first-place vote, and one point for each second-place vote. The map with the most points in each category will win first place in that category.
10. Number of maps awarded additional "places" (second, third...) will be determined based on the number of entries.
Rules for the Photo Salon:
1. There will be two categories, one category with life(bats, crickets, cavers, etc), one category without life (just the cave itself).
2. Photos that have already won a "major" award (Best of Show or First Place) at an NSS Salon (NSS Convention, SERA Winter Business Meeting...) are ineligible for the contest (you already got recognition). Lesser awards such as honorable mention or merit awards are okay.

9. Matted photos are ok, in fact it would be easier to display if they were. Framed and ready to hang photos are acceptible also, but remember, this is an outside event and sometimes Mother Nature ...........well.......see rule #4.
Rules for the Art Salon:

8. Please note that the Art Salon will be in a vending type enclosed canopy and I know it is impossible to make a copy of art work, but we cannot ensure your art work will endure harsh weather…..remember the Indiana Convention Camp Ground!
And who knows, there might be prizes!
Looking forward to seeing your great art work at the Second TAG Fall Cave-in Map/Photo/Art Salon. If you have any questions, just contact me.
