(SUBMISSIONS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE)</div>
<br />
Thanks for visiting "The Stories We Tell: Hudson Valley Artists 2015" at The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz. The show will be open Wednesdays through Sundays 11-5 through Nov. 8, 2015.<br />
<br />
If you made it to this page, you would have already seen a couple of 'historical' markers by Norm Magnusson installed outside the gallery, one on the North side, one on the South. Or maybe you only saw the collage of markers hung on the walls of the show, as seen below:<br />

<br />
<br />
Regardless of what you saw or didn't see, you're here and thanks for coming. The purpose of this page is to solicit text for a new 'historical' marker, that will be made (as a collaboration with the artist) at some point in the future, when budget allows. One winning entrant will get his or her text mocked up and made into a beautiful signed archival computer print that that entrant can have as their very own.<br />
<br />
Here are the rules:<br />
<br />
• The top and the bottom of the marker are a given. Each top has the words "United States" and a small map of the continental U.S. Each bottom is signed off "Education Department" and the year the piece was completed.<br />
<br />
• Each body of text begins with the words "ON THIS SITE STOOD" as the beginning of the first sentence. Whatever follows should complete the sentence that begins with those words.<br />
<br />
• If you include any facts or figures, please also include a link to at least 3 corroborating sources of the fact. (The internet is a slippery place for figures, please use multiple reputable sources.)<br />
<br />
• 5 lines max, 30 characters max per line, including spaces.<br />
<br />
• While you are free to submit text on any topic that moves you; in general, topics of national or international importance generally work better than purely local issues.<br />
<br />
• Keep it clean. Uncouth entries will not be published here.<br />
<br />
• All entries will be published here and the winning entry will be selected by Nov. 1, 2015.<br />
<br />
• Deadline for entries is Oct. 15, 2015.<br />
<br />
• See blank entry form and blank historical below for more details.<br />
<br />
• Submit your entry by leaving a comment on this blog or by emailing it to <a href="mailto:normfunism@aol.com">normfunism@aol.com</a>.<br />
<br />
• Submissions are at the bottom of this page.<br />
