Annual Spring Salon 2008

The Annual Spring Salon is held each year in March for members and non-members of CACCA clubs. The next Salon date can be found in the Competition Schedule and will be held at the United Methodist Church of Palos Heights, 121st and Harlem, Palos Heights, IL.

A maximum of four (4) images may be submitted in any and all divisions. A separate entry fee is charged for each division. The charge this year is $3.00 per division entered for members, and $5.00 for nonmembers.

Where individual competitions do not exist, entrants having ten or more acceptances in a division in previous CACCA salons and/or any international salons must enter Class A in those Salon divisions. Other entrants may elect to enter Class B, if other class divisions apply.

Where individual competitions exist, a Salon entrant shall enter at the same level, or a higher level, than they are participating in during the current year. If they are not participating during the current year, they shall enter at the same lever they would have been assigned for the current year, or at a higher level. Others may elect to enter a class they feel appropriate for their skill level. If this is the 1st time you are entering a division, you may enter in the class B.

No entrant may enter more than one Class in any division. The same or similar image may be entered only in one division each year.

Give your entries to your CACCA delegate before or at the CACCA meeting that falls prior to the Salon. See the Competition Schedule for more information.
