PANEL OF JUDGES

PSA DEFINITIONS

NOTE: TITLES OF PRINTS ARE NOT READ AT THE TIME OF JUDGING

1. MONO/COLOR - An image is considered to be Monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no color(i.e. contains only shades of gray which can include pure back or white) OR it gives the impression of being a grayscale image that has been toned in one color across the en�re image. (For example by Sepia, red, gold etc.)

A grayscale or mul�-colored image modified or giving the impression of having been modified by par�al toning, mul� toning or by the inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the defini�on of monochrome and shall be classified as a Color Work.

2. NATURE - Nature photography sec�on is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict observa�on from all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archeology, in such a fashion that a well informed person will be able to iden�fy the subject material and to cer�fy as to its honest presenta�on. The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality while maintaining high technical quality. *Human elements shall not be present, except where those human elements are integral parts of the nature story such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks, adapted to an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in situa�on depic�ng natural forces, like hurricanes or �dal waves. *Scien�fic bands, scien�fic tags, or radio collars on wild animals are permissible. *Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cul�vated plants, feral animals, domes�c animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible as is any form of manipula�on that alters the truth of the photographic statement. *No techniques that add, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are permi�ed. *Techniques that enhance the presenta�on of photograph without changing the nature story or the pictorial content, or without altering the content of the original scene, are permi�ed including HDR, focus staking and dodging/burning. Techniques that remove elements added by the camera, such as dust spots, digital noise, and film scratches, are allowed. *S�tched images are not allowed. *All allowed adjustments must appear natural. *Color images can be converted to grayscale monochrome. *Infrared images, either direct-captures or deriva�ons, are not allowed.

3. WILDLIFE - Images entered in the Wildlife sec�on mee�ng the Nature Photography Defini�on above are further defined as one or more extant zoological or botanical organisms free and unrestrained in a natural or adopted habitat. *Landscape, geological forma�ons, photographs of zoo or game farm animals or of any extant zoological or botanical species taken under controlled condi�ons are not eligible in Wildlife sec�ons. *Wildlife is not limited to animals, birds and insects. Marine subjects and botanical subjects (including fungi and algae) taken in the wild are the suitable wildlife subjects, as are carcasses of extant species. Images mee�ng the Wildlife Defini�on may be entered in Nature sec�ons as well as Wildlife sec�ons.

4. PHOTOJOURNALISM - Photojournalism entries shall consists of images or sequences of images with informa�ve content and emo�onal impact, including human interest, documentary and spot news. The journalis�c value of Prints shall be considered over pictorial quality. In the interest of credibility, images that misrepresent the truth and model or staged set ups are not permi�ed. Techniques that enhance the presenta�on of the image, without changing the photojournalism content, are permi�ed. All adjustments must appear natural. Color images can be converted to grayscale monochrome.

5. PHOTO TRAVEL - A Photo Travel image must express the feeling of a �me and place, and portray a land, its dis�nc�ve features or culture in its natural state. There are no geographical limita�ons. Closeup pictures of people or objects must include dis�nguishable environment. Techniques that add to, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not permi�ed. All adjustments must appear natural. Conversion to full monochrome is acceptable, deriva�ons including infrared are unacceptable.

Entries must originate as Photographs (image-captures of objects via light sensi�vity) made by entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. By virtue of submi�ng the entry, the entrant cer�fies the work as his own (aliases are not permi�ed). The entrant permits the sponsors to reproduce all or part of the entered material free of charge for publica�on and/or display in media related to the exhibi�on.
