    Following the success of our first virtual exhibition, GOLDEN
    OPPORTUNITY, Ethical Metalsmiths announces a call for entries for
    "Composting Good and Evil: Redesign for Sanctimonious Sinners." 

    Ethical Metalsmiths is a non-profit organization leading metalsmiths
    and jewelers in addressing the complex environmental and social
    issues associated with mining. The organization's mission is to
    promote the use of ethically mined and processed materials, including
    metals and gemstones, in the crafting of jewelry. 

    We will feature the exhibition on our Web site for an extended period
    of time. The exhibition will premiere on the campus of the Savannah
    College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, in March, 2008,
    during the Society of North American Goldsmiths annual conference.
    Digital images will be viewed on an outdoor, billboard-size, high
    resolution LED display. 

    Call for entries: 

    What would happen if we tossed our smug habits into a heap? What if
    we composted our shameless sins, our saintly intentions and our
    fertile imaginations and pledged to use the resulting fecund glory to
    redesign and nurture the world? 

    Imagine the change that could grow from a pile of temptation,
    convenience, guilt, hope and inspiration! Join this collaborative
    effort to transform your compost of good and evil into art for an
    "earthshaking" exhibition. 

    Using any of the following words as a guide, show us a piece of your
    (recycled) mind and (reprogrammed) heart. Reflect, reform,
    reconsider, resolve, relate, revise, rework, renew, repair,
    repurpose, reconnect, review, regret, renounce, reproach, react,
    rethink, reuse, reduce and recycle. 

    The exhibition is open to everyone. Submissions that are consistent
    with the theme and purpose and meet the image requirements will be
    included. We must have high quality digital images. The use of
    recycled and repurposed materials is encouraged, but not mandatory.
    Please join us! 

    The deadline for entries is February 10, 2008. Details are available
    online at www.EthicalMetalsmiths.org
