Aliases are not permitted. Please contact PSA in the event of name changes or relocating to another country. Using one\u2019s name differently in different exhibition exposes the entrant to the risk that many of their acceptances may not be recognized by PSA Star Ratings.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Image Creation<br \/><\/strong>Entries must originate as photographs (image-captures of objects via light sensitivity) made by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Certification: <\/strong><\/p><p>By virtue of submitting an image, the entrant certifies the work as his or her own.\u00a0 Images may not incorporate elements produced by anyone else (for example: clip art, images or art by others downloaded from the Internet).

This may include low resolution posting on a website.\u00a0 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 <strong>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\u2019s further permission, for educational purposes to illustrate serious exhibition rule violations. For those reproductions, the entrant\u2019s name will be withheld<\/strong><strong>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>Entries will not be accepted from entrants who indicate that their images may not be reproduced in materials related to the exhibition.\u201d \u00a0 The exhibition assumes no liability of any misuse of copyright<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Alteration and Computer Generation<\/strong> 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. \u00a0Images may not be constructed entirely with a computer, and must be the sole work of the entrant<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Re-use of accepted images: <\/strong>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.\u00a0 It may, of course, be entered in any other PSA recognised exhibitions but must always have the same title.

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.\u00a0 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\u00a0circumstances.<\/p><p>\u00a0There 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.\u00a0 <strong>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.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0Entry into PSA recognized exhibitions is conditional on accepting these policies.\u00a0 The content of images must comply with the General Conditions and with the Division and Section definitions listed in these conditions.

(For example by Sepia, red, gold, etc.)\u00a0 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.<\/p><p><strong>FIAP Definition of Monochrome<\/strong><\/p><p>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.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Greyscale Monochrome<\/strong> images may be entered for Nature, Photojournalism and Photo Travel but toned images are not permitted for these sections.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Monochrome images may not be entered in Pictorial Prints or PID Color Sections<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8220;Attention is drawn to the\u00a0PSA Statement on Subject Matter\u00a0which applies to\u00a0all\u00a0sections&#8221;<\/p><p><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Editing Guidelines for Nature, Photojournalism and Photo Travel<\/strong><\/p><p>These sections require images to be truthful records, so there are limits on the amount of manipulation allowed.<\/p><p><strong>Editing Guidelines<\/strong><\/p><p>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.<\/p><p><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><u>Allowed editing techniques:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Cropping, straightening and perspective correction.<\/li><li>Removal or correction of elements added by the camera or lens, such as dust spots, noise, chromatic aberration and lens distortion.<\/li><li>Global and selective adjustments such as brightness, hue, saturation and contrast to restore the appearance of the original scene.<\/li><li>Complete conversion of color images to grayscale monochrome.<\/li><li>Blending of multiple images of the same subject and combining them in camera or with software (exposure blending or focus stacking);<\/li><li>Image stitching \u2013 combining multiple images with overlapping fields of view that are taken consecutively (panoramas);<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong><u>Editing techniques that are not allowed:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Removing, adding to, moving or changing any part of an image, except for cropping and straightening.<\/li><li>Adding a vignette during processing.<\/li><li>Blurring parts of the image during processing to hide elements in the original scene.<\/li><li>Darkening parts of the image during processing to hide elements in the original scene.<\/li><li>All conversions other than to complete grayscale monochrome.<\/li><li>Conversion of parts of an image to monochrome, or partial toning, desaturation or over-saturation of color<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><em>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.<\/em><\/p><p><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PSA\/FIAP Nature Definition<\/strong><\/p><p>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.<\/p><p>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.<\/p><p>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.<\/p><p>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.<\/p><p>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.<\/p><p>Images taken with subjects under controlled conditions, such as zoos, are allowed.<\/p><p>Controlling live subjects by chilling, anaesthetic or any other method of restricting natural movement for the purpose of a photograph is not allowed.<\/p><p>No modification that changes the truth of a Nature image is allowed.
