RULES

1.ENTRANTS

The exhibition is open to all photographers, amateur and professional, worldwide.

2. PATRONAGE

The Salon will be run under FIAP, PSA, CEF and FCF rules.

3.SECTIONS

There are four sections for entering images:

A. OPEN MONOCHROME (PID Mono)

B. OPEN COLOUR (PID colour )

C. PHOTO TRAVEL PTD

D. CREATIVE (PID colour)

A maximum of 4 photographs per author may be submitted to each section. The format will be exclusively digital and the technique will be completely free.

All images must have a unique title. “Untitled” and “No title” are unacceptable.

DEFINITIONS

A.1 PSA Open Monochrome There are no restrictions on subject matter for this open monochrome section. A monochrome image is defined as having varying shades of no more than one colour (various shades of that colour from very light to very dark) but it may be any single colour. Multi-toned images (various shades of two or more colours) and greyscale images with an added accent colour are not acceptable in Monochrome Class sections and must be entered in the Colour Class Sections.

A.2 FIAP Open Monochrome Traditional

Definition of Black and White (Monochrome). A black and white work fitting from the very dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with the various shades of grey. A black and white work toned entirely in a single colour will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category; such a work can be reproduced in black and white in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage. On the other hand a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the addition of one colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category; such a work requires colour reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.

B. PSA Open Colour and FIAP Open colour Traditional

This open colour section accommodates images in colour

C. PSA Photo Travel and FIAP Travel Traditional

A Photo Travel image must express the feeling of a time and place, and portray a land, its distinctive features or culture in its natural state. There are no geographical limitations. Ultra close=ups which lose their identity, and studio type model shots are unacceptable. Pictures of people or objects must include distinguishable environment. Techniques that add to, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not permitted. All adjustments must appear natural. Conversion to full monochrome is acceptable. Derivations, including infrared, are unacceptable.

D.PSA and FIAP Creative

There are no restrictions on subject matter for this open creative section. This section allows the photographer freedom to explore the possibilities of photographic art through the extensive manipulation of images and the combination of images, but the photographic content must predominate. An entrant may alter images either digitally or otherwise, and art work or computer graphics created by the entrant may be incorporated if the photographic content predominates. Additional content or layers must be the original work of the entrant. Images created totally electronically (with no photo graphic origin) are specifically excluded. Black and White, Split Toning, Monochrome and Colour images are acceptable.

4.SIZE AND PRESENTATION

Images must have JPEG format, maximum size 1920 pixels horizontal and 1080 pixels vertical, with a resolution of 300 dpi. In the event that the size was larger, it would be reduced automatically to adjust to the established size and the organization would not hold any responsibility for the final result.
