EXHIBITION REQUIREMENTS
Image
and Entry Requirements:
This exhibition is open to anyone; however, an entry may be rejected when the
Sponsor or the Exhibition Organizers, in their reasonable discretion, believes
the entry does not conform to exhibition rules and these Conditions of Entry.
Membership in any photographic organization is not required.
Penalties:
Entries will
not be accepted from any entrant who has put on the PSA Penalties List for
Ethics Violation. Entry fees are not refundable in these circumstances.
PSA
Star Ratings: To
receive proper Star ratings credit from PSA, entrants must provide their names
and country exactly the same way in each exhibition. Aliases are not permitted.
Please contact PSA in the event of name changes or relocating to another
country. Using one’s name differently in different exhibition exposes the
entrant to the risk that many of their acceptances may not be recognized by PSA
Star Ratings.
Image
Creation: Entries
must originate as photographs (image-captures of objects via light sensitivity)
made by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally.
Certification:
By virtue of
submitting an image, the entrant certifies the work as his or her own. Images
may not incorporate elements produced by anyone else (for example: clip art,
images or art by others downloaded from the Internet). Aliases are not allowed.
Reproduction:
The entrant
permits the sponsors to reproduce all or part of the entered material free of
charge for publication and/or display in media related to the exhibition. This
may include low resolution posting on a website. The Photographic Society of
America (PSA) may request specific permission from entrants to reproduce
entered images in its educational materials. The terms of that permission will
be mutually agreed between the entrant and PSA except in the circumstances
where the entered image is found to breach the PSA Ethics Policy. In those
circumstances the image may be reproduced by PSA, without the entrant’s further
permission, for educational purposes to illustrate serious exhibition rule
violations. For those reproductions, the entrant’s name will be withheld.
Entries
will not be accepted from entrants who indicate that their images may not be
reproduced in materials related to the exhibition." The exhibition
assumes no liability of any misuse of copyright.
Alteration
and Computer Generation: Subject
to Divisional restrictions (particularly Nature, Photo Travel, and
Photojournalism) images may be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by
the entrant; adjustments to enhance images or creatively modify images are
allowed providing the underlying photograph is retained in a way that is
obvious to the viewer. Images may not be constructed entirely with a computer,
and must be the sole work of the entrant.
Re-use
of accepted images: Any
image that has been accepted in this exhibition, past or present, may not be
entered again in the same Division Star Ratings Class in any future instances
of this exhibition. It may, of course, be entered in any other PSA recognised
exhibitions but must always have the same title. Re-titling in another
language is not allowed.
Entry:
An Entry
consists of, up to and including, four (4) images entered by a single entrant
into the same Section. An entrant may only enter a specific Section once.
Entrants may not enter identical or similar images into the same section or
different sections of the same exhibition.
Titles: Each image must have a unique
title that is a description of the image. That unique title must be used
for entry of that image or of an identical Image into any and all
PSA-Recognized exhibitions. Titles must be 35 characters or fewer. No titles
may be visible to the judges, and nothing in the image may identify the entrant.
Titles may not include file extensions such as .jpg or .jpeg (or any other
camera capture filenames such as IMG 471). Titles may not consist of personal
identifiers possibly augmented by a number; or include words such as "untitled"
or "no title". Titles may not consist solely of numbers unless those numbers
are prominently contained within the image, such as a contestant number in a
race.
Color
and Monochrome: Color
and Monochrome images from the same capture that share substantial pictorial
content in common will be considered the same image and must be given the same
title.
Submitting
Entries: Each entrant may submit a
maximum of
four images in each of the 5
sections. An image may be
entered in only one section. Monochrome images may not be entered in PIDC
section. Entrants must use only the English alphabet
(A-z) and Numerals
(0-9)
when
submitting an entry.
Image Size: Maximum dimensions are
1920 pixels on horizontal side (width) and 1080 pixels on
vertical side (height). Maximum
3 MB, 300ppi resolution, JPEG format, sRGB
color space. The file
name should be the same as
the title name.
Judging:
The
Exhibition will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the PSA and of
FIAP. An entrant’s images will not be presented to the judges
consecutively. An entrant’s four images will be distributed throughout four
rounds of judging in that section. Distribution of images will be in the same
round order as submitted by the entrant. At no stage will a judge be able to
view all the entrant’s images together.
Judging
method:
1.
Jury viewing the images together.
2.
Using Full HD projector or TV monitors with 1920 x 1080 native resolution, and
equipment has been color-calibrated.

supplied, including physical addresses, email addresses, being held, processed
and used by the exhibition organizers for purposes associated with this
exhibition. You also explicitly consent to such information being sent to

SUBJECT
MATTER AND SECTION DEFINITIONS
Statement on Subject Matter
applicable to all sections
The
fundamental rule that must be observed at all times and applies to all
sections offered in exhibitions with PSA recognition is that the
welfare of living creatures is more important than any photograph. This
means that practices such as baiting of subjects with a living creature and
removal of birds from nests, for the purpose of obtaining a photograph, are
highly unethical, and such photographs are not allowed in any exhibition with
PSA recognition. Under no circumstances may a living creature be placed
in a situation where it will be killed, injured or stressed for the purpose of
obtaining a photograph. Images that show live creatures being fed to captive
animals, birds or reptiles are not permitted under any circumstances.
There
are also concerns about the use of aerial photography, drones, helicopters, low
flying aircraft. These should not cause any interference with other individuals
or animals which causes a disturbance in their normal activity or disrupt the
way any individuals or animals interact with their environment. Entrants
in PSA recognized exhibitions should comply with all relevant laws and
regulations, associated with aerial photography, in the country in which the
image was taken.
Entry
into PSA recognized exhibitions is conditional on accepting these
policies. The content of images must comply with the General Conditions
and with the Division and Section definitions listed in these conditions.
Images that - in the sole opinion of the judges or the Exhibition Organizers -
do not comply, will be disqualified so the entrant may be aware of
the problem when considering entry into other exhibitions with PSA recognition.
PSA Monochrome Definition
An image is considered to be Monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no color (i.e. contains only shades of
grey which can include pure black
and
pure white) OR it gives the impression of being a greyscale
image that has been
toned
in one color across
the entire image. (For
example, by Sepia,
red, gold, etc.) A greyscale or multi-colored
image modified or giving the
impression of having been
modified by partial toning,
multi-toning or by the inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the definition of monochrome
and shall be classified as a Color Work.
Greyscale Monochrome images may be entered
for Nature,
Photojournalism and
Photo Travel but toned
images are not permitted
for these sections.
Monochrome
images may not be entered in Pictorial Prints or PID Color Sections. Separate sections must be
offered for Color Pictorial Prints, Monochrome Pictorial Prints, PIDC and PIDM.
FIAP definition
of 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.
Editing Guidelines for Nature,
Photojournalism and Photo Travel
These
sections require images to be truthful records, so there are limits on the
amount of manipulation allowed.
Editing
Guidelines
Processing
or editing must be limited to making the image look as close to the original
scene as possible, except that conversion to grayscale monochrome is allowed.
Allowed
editing techniques:
1. Cropping,
straightening and perspective correction.
2. Removal
or correction of elements added by the camera or lens, such as dust spots,
noise, chromatic aberration and lens distortion.
3. Global
and selective adjustments such as brightness, hue, saturation and contrast to
restore the appearance of the original scene.
4. Complete
conversion of color images to grayscale monochrome.
5. Blending
of multiple images of the same subject and combining them in camera or with
software (exposure blending or focus stacking);
6. Image
stitching – combining multiple images with overlapping fields of view that are
taken consecutively (panoramas);
Editing
techniques that are not allowed:
1. Removing,
adding to, moving or changing any part of an image, except for cropping and
straightening.
2. Adding
a vignette during processing.
3. Blurring
parts of the image during processing to hide elements in the original scene.
4. Darkening
parts of the image during processing to hide elements in the original scene.
5. All
conversions other than to complete grayscale monochrome.
6. Conversion
of parts of an image to monochrome, or partial toning, desaturation or
over-saturation of color.
Borders:
For the
purpose of this exhibition any border
added to a digital file must be a
single border of white or grey, no greater than 3 -5
pixels in width.
PSA/FIAP Nature Definition
Nature
photography records all branches of natural history except anthropology and
archaeology. This includes all aspects of the physical world, both animate and
inanimate, that have not been made or modified by humans.
Nature
images must convey the truth of the scene that was photographed. A
well-informed person should be able to identify the subject of the image and be
satisfied that it has been presented honestly and that no unethical practices
have been used to control the subject or capture the image. Images that
directly or indirectly show any human activity that threatens the life or
welfare of a living organism are not allowed.
The
most important part of a Nature image is the nature story it tells. High
technical standards are expected and the image must look natural. Adding a
vignette or blurring the background during processing is not allowed.
Objects
created by humans, and evidence of human activity, are allowed in Nature images
only when they are a necessary part of the Nature story.
Photographs
of human-created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domesticated
animals, human-created hybrid animals and mounted or preserved zoological
specimens are not allowed.
Images
taken with subjects under controlled conditions, such as zoos, are allowed.
Controlling
live subjects by chilling, anaesthetic or any other method of restricting natural
movement for the purpose of a photograph is not allowed.
No
modification that changes the truth of a Nature image is allowed. Images may be
cropped but no other technique that removes, adds or moves any part of the
image is allowed.
Techniques
that remove elements added by the camera, such as dust spots, digital noise and
lens flare are allowed.
Complete
conversion of colour images to greyscale monochrome is allowed. Partial
conversion, toning and infrared captures or conversions are not allowed. Images
of the same subject that are combined in-camera or with software by focus
stacking or exposure blending are allowed. Multiple images with overlapping
fields of view that are taken consecutively and combined in-camera or with
software (image stitching) are allowed.
Attention
is drawn to the PSA Statement on Subject Matter which applies to all sections
and to the Editing Guidelines for Nature, Photojournalism and Photo Travel.
PSA Photo
Travel Definition
Photo Travel
A
Photo Travel image is a portrayal of the real world we live in, as it is found
naturally. There are no geographic limitations.
Content
guidance:
1. If
the image is predominantly or exclusively a land-, sea- or cityscape, these
"scapes" must include characteristic, distinctive and recognizable physical
features, although it is not necessary that the image identify the exact
location;
2. Images
that predominantly or exclusively depict people and their activities must
illustrate a distinctive culture of a country, region, or continent;
3. Images
that predominately or exclusively depict animal populations are allowed, if the
animals are in their native environment and are characteristic of that country,
region, or continent;
4. Portraits
or other close-ups of people or objects, in addition to meeting the above
paragraphs as applicable, must include elements depicting some of the
surrounding environment to make it obvious that the image was not taken in a
studio setting;
5. Images
from events or activities arranged for photography, or of subjects directed or
hired for photography, are NOT allowed.
6. Time
exposures are allowed, if they do not dominate the image as a special effect
(star trails, for example, are a dominating effect).
7. Highly
distorted images such as those produced by fish eye lenses are NOT allowed.
Attention
is drawn to the PSA Statement on Subject Matter which applies to all
sections and to the Editing Guidelines for Nature, Photojournalism and Photo
Travel.
Circuit Definition of People
Images
in this section should be color only. Image
may
include men, women or children, whether they are at work,
rest
or entertainment, no matter who is alone or in groups. "People" must be
the main or important
part of the picture.
Attention is drawn to the PSA
Statement on Subject Matter which applies to all sections.
All entries shall conform to the stricter of these definitions for acceptances and awards to be validated by all the International
Organizations granting recognition
or patronage.
BREACHES of RULES
PSA
Entrants
are strongly advised to look at the PSA Ethics Policy which can be found at https://psa-photo.org/page/ethical-practices.
If,
at any time, it is determined in the reasonable discretion of the exhibition
organizer or the judges before, during, or after the judging of an exhibition
that an entrant has submitted entries where one or more images may fail to
comply with these Conditions of Entry, including the stated definitions,
exhibitions, on behalf of the judges, are allowed to request unedited or raw
files of the submitted image
In
order to ensure that images comply with the Conditions of Entry and
definitions, the exhibition organizers may carry out reasonable measures to
verify that:
a)
the images are the original work of the entrant and
b)
the images comply with the rules and definitions as set out in these Conditions
of Entry
These
steps include, but are not limited to, questioning any entrant, requiring the
submission of RAW files or other digital files representing the original
capture of the submitted image(s), confronting the entrant with evidence that
one or more submitted images fails to comply with the Conditions of Entry (also
known as Entry Rules), and offering the entrant a reasonable opportunity to
provide counter evidence to refute the exhibition organizer’s evidence by a set
deadline. Such entries that are not cleared or are still questionable after the
entrant has presented evidence may be considered in breach of these Conditions
of Entry, and declined. Such entries may be referred to PSA for further
investigation of possible ethics violations
PSA,
on receiving reports from exhibitions of possible breaches, retains the right
to investigate in any way all complaints/suspicions of breaches of entry
conditions, impose penalties if deemed necessary, void the acceptances of any
image found to violate the PSA rules, include the entrant’s name on the list of
sanctions provided to Exhibitions, and share such investigations with FIAP.
Entrants automatically agree to these terms by the act of entering the
Exhibition and agree to cooperate with any investigation.
If
another party is submitting images on the entrant’s behalf, the entrant will
still be held responsible for adhering to these Conditions of Entry (Entry
Rules) and will be subject to penalties for any violations to
these Conditions of Entry and PSA’s Statement of Ethics that may result.
If
another party is processing images for an entrant or submitting images on the
entrant’s behalf, the entrant will still be held responsible for adhering to
all Conditions of Entry including the specific conditions in the
relevant definitions.
NOTICE:
When
entrants fills in the Entry Form to submit an entry they will see the following
feature to affirm they have read these Conditions of Entry
"I
hereby confirm that I have read, understood and agree to the Conditions of
Entry of this exhibition. I have read the PSA document to be found at
https://psa-photo.org/resource/resmgr/pdf/exhibitions/exhibition-entrants-agreemen.pdf.
I am aware that PSA may apply penalties for breaches of these Conditions of Entry"
FIAP
The mention that by the
sole act of submitting
his/her images or files to
a salon under FIAP
Patronage, the entrant accepts
without exception and with no objection
the following terms: - that the submitted images can
be investigated by FIAP to establish if
these obey to FIAP regulations
and definitions even
if the entrant is not a member of
FIAP, - that FIAP will
use any means at its disposal for this undertaking, - that any refusal
to cooperate with FIAP
or any refusal to submit
the original files as
captured by the camera, or failure to provide sufficient evidence,
will be sanctioned
by
FIAP, - that in case of sanctions following the non-compliance with FIAP regulations,
the name of the entrant will
be released in any form useful to inform the breaches
of the rules. It is recommended to leave the EXIF data in the submitted files
intact
in order to ease eventual investigations. If, at any
time, it is determined in the reasonable discretion
of the exhibition organizer or the judges before, during, or after
the judging of an exhibition that
an entrant has submitted entries where one or more
images may fail to comply with these
Conditions of Entry, including the stated definitions, the exhibition organizers reserve the right to delete
the entry from the exhibition and void any or all acceptances or awards in
connection with the exhibition. Fees
may be forfeited or refunded in these circumstances. The entrant acknowledges
that the decision of the exhibition organizers or
the judges is final.
NOTICE: In order
to have legal authority on those who do not respect the
rules of FIAP, the organizer must make sure
that all participants of an online
event under FIAP
Patronage tick a box next to which the
following text is
stated:
Failure to agree will mean that the
application will not proceed.
