NO Jury, NO Selection, NO Returns and NO Entry Fees are the few basic rules all Mail Art shows/projects/exhibits have in their participation Calls.  Even when some shows stretch them to a deadline or to a particular format, the basics is never changed and it has been this way since decades.

I now ask myself why in IUOMA's Mail Art Projects blog is allowed a proliferation of Calls that use the Mail Art word but have nothing to do with it, as they request Entry Fees, have Jury, do Selection and give Awards, creating confusion for new Mail Artists and deforming the nature of Mail Art.
IUOMA, as International Union of Mail Artists, plays an important part in promoting the right information, specially its projects blog, that is reference to a huge audience.
please, don't post nor promote Calls that mislead the concept of Mail Art unless their rules are changed. give a chance to educate ignorance and eliminate slyness. 
I understand the costs involved in some projects where there is documentation sent out that can produce a request for money, but it should be as donation and kept free not as a rule for entry.

This is probably really obvious and I just don't see it...but how do you flip a photo once you downloaded it?

I say mine: Mail Art, can not, should not remain firm, since it was born from Fluxus, so first of all we try not to fossilize. In my small way I avoid using collages, artistamps, etc. and I try to create a Mail Art-process art, and performative ... and I also try to use the web without separating it from Mail Art ... I would like it to be an evolution of M.A. but do not abandon shipments! rather I send several times a week ... and I bring the atmosphere M.A. in my performances, which at the moment are few. a hug . b

Dico la mia: La Mail Art, non può, non deve rimanere ferma, visto che è nata da Fluxus, quindi prima di tutto cerchiamo di non fossilizzarci. Nel mio piccolo evito di usare collages, artistamp, ecc. e cerco di creare una Mail Art- process art, e performativa... e cerco pure di usare il web senza separarlo dalla Mail Art... vorrei che fosse una evoluzione della M.A. ma non abbandono le spedizioni! anzi spedisco più volte la settimana... e porto l'atmosfera M.A. nelle mie performances, che al momento sono poche. un abbraccio . b

bruno,

yes,yes,yes we know this, but what can be done? send a letter to the mayor,

bomb the post office, make a demonstration, or just go to sleep.

Comment by Bruno Cassaglia - poetArtist on April 20, 2018 at 7:12pm

Io dico che dovremmo insistere per far comprendere l'importanza di un movimento comela MAIL ART! Non sono molti gli artisti, critici e galleristi che la apprezzano.

I say that we should insist on understanding the importance of a movement like MAIL ART! There are not many artists, critics and gallery owners who appreciate it.
