Kindred Spirits: FAQs

Q. Is this exhibition open to CBBAG members?

A. Yes, the Kindred Spirits exhibition is open to all CBBAG members - from Canada, the US, or other International locations.  We encourage all to register!

Q. What if I am not a CBBAG member, can I still enter?

A. The Kindred Spirits exhibition is only open to CBBAG members; but if you are not a member, CBBAG has made it easy to join (or rejoin)!  In the Registration & Registration Guidelines page, you will find Fee Type 2 and Fee Type 4 are geared toward Non-Members. Those Fee Types include a 1-year membership with CBBAG. This means a non-member can register for the exhibition and through the registration fee, automatically becomes a member!   

Q. The mailing instructions for Canadians seem complicated. What if I make a mistake?

A. For the Kindred Spirits exhibition, the mailing instructions for Canadians are much simplier than it might appear.  Please make sure you follow the instructions carefully. It starts with picking up a Flat Rate box from your local post office in either the extra-small or the small size, whichever size best fits your project. On the Canada Post flat rate box, complete the "To" portion of the address label. Place your project along with the Submission Form in the flat rate box, but seal only one end. Use strong tape, and secure the opposite end of the box. Wrap the box in durable brown or kraft paper. Address the paper-wrapped box according to the mailing instructions you received when you registered. Take the box to your local post office and mail it. It's that simple! For complete instructions, please refer to the Mailing Instructions web page.

Q. If I want to pay my Registration Fee by credit card, what do I do?

A.If you want to Register for the Kindred Spirits exhibition using a credit card, then contact CBBAG by e-mail at cbbag@cbbag.ca and request an e-invoice. This will allow you to make an online payment by Visa or MasterCard through CBBAG's secure server.  On this request, please also indicate your Fee Type (1,2,3, or 4). For Canadians, however, you are strongly encouraged to pay by e-transfers (no security question required)!
