EXHIBITION REQUIREMENTS

Image And Entry Requirements: This exhibition is open to anyone; however, an entry may be rejected when the exhibition chair believes the entry does not conform to exhibition rules and these ES-COE. Membership in any photographic organization is not required.

Neither awards nor acceptances will be granted to any entrant who is 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 a name change or relocation to another country. Using one’s name differently in different exhibitions exposes the entrant to the risk that many of their acceptances may not be recognized in PSA Star records.

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. PSA may request specific permission from entrants to reproduce entered images in its educational materials. The terms of that permission will be mutually agreed upon 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, or 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.

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 recognized exhibitions but must always have the same title. Re-titling in another language is not allowed.

展览要求

作品与参赛资格: 本展览向所有人开放，但当组委会主席认定作品不符合参赛规则或《国际摄影艺术联合会展览标准》时，有权拒绝该作品参赛。参赛者无需具备任何摄影组织会员资格。

凡被列入PSA（美国摄影学会）道德违规处罚名单者，其作品将不予评奖及入选。在此情况下参赛费不予退还。

PSA星级评定: 为获得PSA星级评定认可，参赛者须在所有展览中使用完全一致的姓名与国家信息。禁止使用化名。如遇姓名变更或国籍变动，请及时联系PSA更新信息。若在不同展览使用不同姓名，可能导致PSA星级记录无法累计认可入选成绩。

作品使用权: 参赛者授权主办方免费复制其全部或部分参赛作品，用于展览相关的出版及展示（包括低分辨率发布）。PSA可能就教育用途特别征询作品使用权，双方将达成书面协议。但若作品违反PSA道德准则，PSA有权不经许可将其用于警示教育，此时将隐去作者姓名。

拒绝授予使用权的作品将不被接受。主办方对版权滥用行为不承担法律责任。

作品重复使用规定: 历届入选作品不得以相同组别再次参赛（可更换组别参赛，但必须保持作品原名）。禁止使用不同语言重新命名作品。

Entry: An entry consists of up to and including four (4) images entered by a single entrant into the same section. The same image can receive no more than a total of twenty (20) acceptances (per star path). Identical or similar Images shall not be allowed in the same section or different sections of the same exhibition as determined by the judges or exhibition chair. Similar images are those which are practically equivalent, as defined on this page: https://psa-services.org/pdf/Practical-Equivalence.pdf. When a group of similar images is uploaded by the entrant, all similar images in all sections will be disqualified. Be advised: while similar images may be entered in different exhibitions, these images and acceptances may be disallowed by the separate review process associated with applications for stars, diamonds and galaxies. To avoid disappointment, do not enter images that are practically equivalent.

Titles: Each image must have a unique title that relates to the content of the image. That unique title must be used for entry of that 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 file names such as IMG_xxxx). Titles may not consist of personal identifiers possibly augmented by a number; and may not 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. When entering titles, exhibitors may use Latin1 or Latin2 character sets (ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2) which allow diacritical marks (é, ñ, ü, ą, ę, ś, etc). While text written in non-Latin writing systems (Hanzi, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, etc) might be accepted by exhibition software, this practice is discouraged because it may yield unpredictable results in galleries, catalogs and may be rejected in Star applications.

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.

参赛细则:

• 每位参赛者每组限投4幅作品。
• 同一作品累计入选次数不得超过20次（按星级路径计算）。
• 评委有权判定并禁止相似作品参赛（相似度标准详见PSA官网）。
• 上传相似作品将导致该系列所有作品被取消资格。
• 提醒：相似作品虽可参加不同展览，但在申请“星标/钻石/银河”级别评定时可能被判定无效。

作品命名规范:

• 每幅作品须有反映其内容的唯一标题（35字符以内）。
• 同一作品在所有PSA认证展览中必须使用相同标题。
• 标题不得包含文件扩展名（如.jpg）、相机默认文件名（如IMG_xxxx）或”无题”等字样。
• 纯数字标题仅当数字为画面主体内容时允许使用（如运动员编号）。
• 建议使用拉丁字符集（如é, ñ, ü, ą, ę, ś等等），非拉丁文字可能产生显示异常。

彩色与黑白作品认定: 源自同一拍摄素材的彩色与黑白版本视为同一作品，必须使用相同标题。

Images created in whole or in part by image creation software (frequently called ‘AI’ images) are not allowed. Editing or alteration of images is permitted within the limits specified in the relevant section definitions that are available here https://psaphotoworldwide.org/page/division-definitions

Any Person submitting or attempting to submit a totally AI generated image that does not begin with a light capture from the maker to any Photographic Society of America exhibition, social media, event, or publication, other than for editorial purposes, shall be prohibited from PSA for a period of from 3 years to Life.

FIAP Artificial Intelligence

FIAP关于AI的规定

本沙龙严禁人工智能创作作品！所有画面元素必须由著作权人亲自拍摄。违规者将面临终身禁赛。

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 or injured 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, using drones, helicopters, or low flying aircraft. These should not cause any interference with other individuals or animals which causes a disturbance in their normal activity or disrupts the way any individual or animal interacts 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 the above policies. The images must comply with the division and section definitions listed on the PSA website and other conditions. Images that do not comply will be disqualified by the judges.

主题声明（适用于所有组别）

PSA认证展览的核心准则是生物权益高于摄影创作。严禁以下行为：

• 使用活体诱饵拍摄。
• 移动鸟巢等生物栖息地。
• 任何导致生物伤亡的摆拍行为。
• 展示活体投喂 captive 动物的场景。

航拍规范： 使用无人机/直升机等设备时，

• 不得干扰生物正常活动。
• 须遵守拍摄地航空摄影法规。

参赛即视为接受上述条款。作品必须符合PSA官网公布的组别定义，违规作品将被取消资格。

PSA Color Definition

The Image category for PID color must be a color image. 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 color on a monochrome image is considered a Color Image.

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 gray which can include pure black and pure white) or it gives the impression of being a grayscale image that has been toned in one color across the entire image (for example by sepia, red, gold, etc.) A grayscale 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.

• Monochrome images may not be entered in color sections of PPD or PID.

PSA色彩作品定义

彩色作品必须为彩色图像。经局部调色、多色调处理或包含局部彩色的黑白图像均视为彩色作品。

PSA黑白作品定义

• 完全灰度呈现（含纯黑与纯白）。
• 整体单色调处理（如棕褐色、红色调等）。
• 经局部调色或局部上色的图像视为彩色作品。

注意：黑白作品不得参加彩色组评选。

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 color 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 color becomes a color work (polychrome) to stand in the color category; such a work requires color reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.

FIAP黑白作品定义

• 从深灰（黑）到浅灰（白）的灰度作品。
• 整体单色调作品仍属黑白范畴（展览画册将以黑白印刷）。
• 局部调色或局部上色作品视为彩色作品（画册须彩色印刷）。

Pictorial Image Division Definition

PID includes open or general subject photography. There are no limitations on subject matter or techniques used for image capture or post processing other than the restrictions described in the PSA Statements on Artificial Intelligence, Image Creation and Authorship, and Subject Matter, which apply to all divisions. These restrictions include prohibited image elements not authored by the entrant (for example textures, replacement skies from third party software, clipart or stock images). Open sections have unrestricted subject content and may include creative images. PID theme sections have specific definitions which assist both the judges and entrants.

Human Activities Definition (Color Only) PID-C

Any form of human activity that intrigues and captures the attention of viewers. There are no limits. It could be a community or individuals celebrating festivals or observing cultural traditions, men and women working, socialising or just relaxing, or children studying, having fun or engaging in sports are some examples. These scenes may be staged if necessary.

画意摄影组（PID）定义

除需遵守PSA关于AI、原创性与主题声明的通用规定外：

• 题材与技法不限。
• 禁止使用非原创素材（如纹理、第三方天空素材等）。
• 创意类作品可参加开放组（PID open sections）。
• 主题组（PID theme sections）需有特定定义条款，对评委及参赛者均具指导意义。

人类活动彩色组（PID-C）定义

指各种引人注目的人类活动形式，题材不受限制。包括但不限于：

• 节庆文化传统。
• 工作社交场景。
• 儿童教育娱乐。

根据创作需要，允许情景摆拍。

PSA RULES

Non-compliance

See the PSA Ethics Policy at https://psaphotoworldwide.org/page/ethical-practices.

See the PSA statement on Subject Matter, Statement on Artificial Intelligence, and Image Creation and Authorship at https://psaphotoworldwide.org/page/division-definitions

If an entrant submits an image that appears to be non-compliant, the chair or judges may request the unedited or raw file of the submitted image to verify compliance, including authorship. For composite images all files are required. Such entries may be referred to PSA for further investigation of possible ethics violations. Entrants who do not respond to this request or who do not cooperate with the investigation team may be penalized.

PSA retains the right to investigate all complaints, impose penalties if deemed necessary, void the acceptances of any image found to violate the PSA rules, and add the entrant’s name to the PSA Penalty List which is shared with PSA and FIAP chairs. Entrants automatically agree to these terms by entering the Exhibition.

Agents and other indirect submissions:

• Agencies and third-party entities who process or submit images on an entrant’s behalf must register with Exhibition Services. This is to ensure both the agency and the entrants are aware of the rules prior to submitting images. Agencies who frequently submit images which incur violations may also be penalized.
• Entrants will be held responsible for adhering to the entry rules and will be subject to penalties for any violations to these Conditions of Entry or to PSA’s Statement of Ethics, regardless of whether they submit images through a third party or not.

NOTICE: When entrants fill 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 and understood and agree to the Conditions of Entry of this exhibition. I have read and understood the PSA document to be found at:

https://psaphotoworldwide.org/resource/resmgr/pdf/exhibitions_/exhibition-entrants-agreemen.pdf.

I am aware that PSA may apply penalties for non-compliance to these Conditions of Entry”

Failure to agree will mean that the application will not proceed.

FIAP RULES

In order to have legal authority on those who do not respect the rules of FIAP, the organiser must make sure that all participants of an online event under FIAP Patronage tick a box next to which the following text is stated:

“I hereby expressly agree to FIAP document 040/2023 « Conditions and regulations for FIAP Patronage » and FIAP document 033/2023 « Sanctions for breaching FIAP regulations and the red list ». I am particularly aware of chapter II « Regulations for International photographic events under FIAP patronage » of FIAP document 040/2023, dealing under Section II.2 and II.3 with the FIAP participation rules, the sanctions for breaching FIAP regulations and the red list”

Notice:
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.
