FIAP Definitions

Black and white photography (monochrome)
This definition supersedes the Document 223 and the INFO 1991/12. 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.

La photographie noir-blanc (monochrome)
Cette définition remplace le Document 223 et l'INFO 1991/12. Une oeuvre noir-blanc allant du gris très foncé (noir) au gris très clair (blanc) est une oeuvre monochrome aux différentes nuances de gris. Une oeuvre noir-blanc virée intégralement dans une seule couleur restera une oeuvre monochrome pouvant figurer dans la catégorie noir-blanc; une telle oeuvre peut être reproduite en noir et blanc dans le catalogue d'un salon sous Patronage FIAP. Par contre une oeuvre noir-blanc modifiée par un virage partiel ou l'ajout d'une couleur devient une oeuvre couleur (polychrome) devant figurer dans la catégorie couleur; une telle oeuvre nécessite la reproduction en couleur dans le catalogue d'un salon sous Patronage FIAP.

Der Schwarzweißfotografie (monochrom)
Diese Definition ersetzt das Dokument 223 und INFO 1991/12. Ein Schwarzweißfoto, das von einem sehr dunklen Grauton (schwarz) in einen sehr hellen Grauton (weiß) übergeht, ist ein monochromes Werk, bestehend aus verschiedenen Grautönen. Ein Schwarzweißfoto, das gänzlich in einer einzigen Farbe getont wird, bleibt ein monochromes Werk und gehört zur Kategorie Schwarzweiß; ein solches Werk kann in dem Katalog eines Salons mit FIAP-Patronat in schwarzweiß reproduziert werden. Dagegen wird ein Schwarzweißfoto, das man teilweise mit einer Tonung oder durch die Hinzufügung einer Farbe abändert, zu einem Farbfoto (Polychrom) und gehört zur Kategorie Farbe; ein solches Werk muss in dem Katalog eines Salons mit FIAPPatronat in Farbe reproduziert werden.

La fotografía negro y blanco (monocromo)
Esta definición reemplaza el Documento 223 y el INFO 1991/12. Una obra negro y blanco yendo del gris mas oscuro (negro) al gris muy claro (blanco) es una obra monocromo a los diferentes matices de grises. Una obra negro y blanco virada íntegramente en un solo color quedará una obra monocromo pudiendo figurar en la categoría negro y blanco; una tal obra puede ser reproducida en negro y blanco en el catalogo de un salón bajo Patrocinio FIAP. Por contra una obra negro y blanco modificada por un viraje parcial o el añadido de un color deviene una obra color (policromo) debiendo figurar en la categoría color; una tal obra necesita la reproducción en color en el catalogo de un salón bajo Patrocinio FIAP.

La Photographie Nature

Une intervention minimale de l'homme est acceptable pour des sujets nature, comme par exemple des hiboux de grange ou des cigognes, s'adaptant à un environnement modifié par l'action de l'homme, ou des forces naturelles tel que des ouragans ou des raz-de-marée, le revendiquant.

PSA Definitions

General:
Entries must originate as photographs (image-capture of objects via light sensitivity) made by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. By virtue of submitting an entry, the entrant certifies the work as his/her own and 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 exhibition assumes no liability for any misuse of copyright. Images may be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by the maker and artwork or computer graphics created by the entrant may be incorporated if the photographic content predominates.

Photo Travel:
A Photo Travel image must express the feeling of a time and place, and portray a land, its people, or a culture in its natural state. Photo Travel images have no geographical limitations. Ultra close-ups, which lose their identity and studio-type model shots, are unacceptable. Techniques that add to, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not permitted. Techniques that enhance the presentation of the image without changing the photo travel content are permitted. All adjustments must appear natural.

Nature:
Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict observations from all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject material and to certify as to its honest presentation. The 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 enhance the nature story. The presence of scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals is permissible. Photographs of artificially produced hybrid plants or animals, mounted specimens,or obviously set arrangements, are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement. No techniques that add to, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are permitted. Techniques that enhance the presentation of the photograph without changing the nature story or the pictorial content are permitted. All adjustments must appear natural. Color images can be converted to grayscale monochrome. Infrared images are not allowed.

Monochrome:
A monochrome image is defined as having varying shades of no more than one color (various shades of that color from very light to very dark) but it may be any single color. Multi-toned images (various shades of two or more colors) and greyscale images with added an accent color are not acceptable in Monochrome Class sections and must be entered in Color Class sections.
