The Thursday evening program provides a venue to celebrate art and caves. Each of the NSS Salons displays photos of their top winners. The Salon Awards Show includes the Ballad Salon winner and runner-up songs, the Multimedia Salon winner in full, excerpts from Video Salon Accepted for Show entries, and it is the only time Photo Salon images are presented during the convention, enhanced by music.
The 5:30 PM Salon Awards Show "Dress Rehearsal" is for those who prefer their cave art in a quiet venue. It contains the same elements as the full show, but without award and salon chair presentations. The Salon award winners will be announced. It should run about 90 minutes. The 7:30 PM show is for everyone who likes to see the Salon chairs present the winning artists with their awards (and for winning artists who want to get their awards!). It runs about 120 minutes, without an intermission.
