A Festival of Postcards (4th Ed.) WATER – Call for Submissions
New! October 2009 - A Festival of Postcards (5th Ed.) Quadrupeds – Call for Submissions
______________
Note: the information is below is now out of date
Hey there - you out there - yes you!
The next edition of A Festival of Postcards is dedicated to WATER - so it’s time to get out those postcards depicting bodies of water, boats, bridges, fish – or anything that contains liquid! And please feel free to interpret the theme as liberally as you wish.
Remember, the Festival welcomes wordless entries that showcase particular postcards as well as entries accompanied by articles about social or family history or deltiology. In the first 3 issues we’ve had an astounding variety and quality of articles but if you have a wonderful postcard to showcase without accompanying article, that’s fine too! Following last month’s feature article by Mandy Collins (Signs), I also hope some of you will be inspired to try your hand at altered art!
How To Enter (Deadline: August 20th)
1. Go to A Festival of Postcards Official Form, hit the SUBMIT button at the top of the page and fill in the form!
2. As a back-up, please leave a message (and blog address) in the Comment Box below.

Note from Evelyn – Duly noted: thank you for confirming your entry so if there’s any last minute snafus at Blog Carnival I’ll have a backup here!
Hi Evelyn — I have submitted two articles, one from each postcard blog:

This is not a postcard I will find one of those but this is a water scene!

Your entry just dropped into my mailbox – but thanks for confirming here after last month’s carnival snafu!
I was hoping you were submitting something because I’m very, very excited about this whole family history mail art/altered art/scrapbooking thing – but I realize it’s a big undertaking.

Thanks Randy – and thanks for the entry!
Hi Evelyn,
I submitted 2 entries last night. The first is my ancestor’s ship that you had seen on my blog earlier this week, and that entry can be found at: http://blog.illuminatedancestries.com/2009/08/wordless-wednesday-5-august-2009.html. The second is an old wagon bridge in Terre Haute, Indiana, and that entry can be found here: http://blog.illuminatedancestries.com/2009/08/festival-of-postcards-4th-edition.html.
Thanks!
Carol
That’s great – I’ve inserted them both today – you’ve been busy, girl!
