5OSME Call for Diagrams

[wolf]

Hello all!

Origami enthusiasts/folders/creators from around the world are hereby cordially invited to submit diagrams of their models, for publication in a diagram book in conjunction with the 5OSME convention which will be held in Singapore during 13 . 17 July 2010.

Contributors whose models are selected for publication will get a free copy of the convention book. In the case where the diagrammer and creator are different persons, both will be acknowledged in the book, but only the one who submitted the model for publication will get a free copy. If the contributor is unable to attend the convention, the book will be sent to him/her via ordinary mail.

Due to copyright issues, only models that have not been published elsewhere will be considered.

Please specify your name and email address (for quick communication). Contributors will be notified via email whether their models have been chosen for publication. The organising committee will make the selection based on the level of difficulty, the limitation on the total number of pages in the book, quality of the drawings and subject matter.

Please submit your diagrams to 5osme.diagrams@gmail.com.

Deadline for submission:
Dec 31, 2009

Content of submission:

Model difficulty:

Bump....

This diagram book will be published only in July next year, so those working on their christmas book diagrams, take note.
