DEFINITIONS
1. 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 color will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category; such
a work can be reproduce 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 color becomes a color work (polychrome) to stand in a color category; such a work requires color reproduction in
the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.
2. NATURE - Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict 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 certify its honest presentation. 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 situations depicting natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. Scientific bands, scientific
tags or radio collars on wild animals are permissible. Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domestic animals, or
mounted specimens are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement. No techniques that add, 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, or without altering the content of the original scene, are permitted including HDR, focus stacking and
dodging/burning. Techniques that remove elements added by the camera, such as dust spots, digitalnoise, and film scratches, are allowed. Stitched
images are not permitted. All allowed adjustments must appear natural. Color images can be converted to greyscale monochrome. Infrared images,
either direct-captures or derivations, are not allowed.
Images used in Nature Photography competitions may be divided in two classes: Nature and Wildlife. Images entered in Nature sections meeting the
Nature Photography Definition above can have landscapes, geologic formations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the primary subject
matter. This includes images taken with the subjects in controlled conditions, such as zoos, game farms, botanical gardens, aquariums and any enclosure
where the subjects are totally dependent on man for food. Images entered in Wildlife sections meeting the Nature Photography Definition above are
further defined as one or more extant zoological or botanical organisms free and unrestrained in a natural or adopted habitat. Landscapes, geologic
formations, photographs of zoo or game farm animals, or of any extant zoological or botanical species taken under controlled conditions are not eligible in
Wildlife sections. Wildlife is not limited to animals, birds and insects. Marine subjects and botanical subjects (including fungi and algae) taken in the wild
are suitable wildlife subjects, as are carcasses of extant species. Wildlife images may be entered in Nature sections of Exhibitions.
4. PHOTOJOURNALISM - Photojournalism entries shall consist of images with informative content and emotional impact, including human interest,
documentary, sports and spot news. The storytelling value of the image shall receive priority over pictorial quality. In the interest of credibility, PJ images
must not misrepresent the truth. No situations shall be set up for the purpose of photography, and no alteration of the subject matter is allowed,
including any techniques that add, combine, relocate, replace or remove any elements of the original image. No unnatural sharpening or special effect
filters can be applied. Only cropping, resizing, lightening or darkening, and restoration of original color are permitted. Color images can be converted to
monochrome.
5. PHOTO TRAVEL - 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. Closeup 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.
