FIAF NOTES:
In order not to incur FIAF sanctions, photographic works submitted to the contests shall remain
over time as they were when they have first been presented. For instance, one colour
photograph, submitted either as a print or a file, shall not be submitted any more as monochrome
ad vice versa.
PSA NOTES:
An image that was accepted in a prior CPID or EID recognized section of this exhibition may
not be entered in a PID recognized Colour section of this exhibition.
Monochrome Definition: a monochrome image is defined as having varying shades of no more
than one colour (various shades of that colour from very light to very dark) but it may be any
single colour. Multi-toned images (various shades of two or more colours) and greyscale
images with added an accent colour are not acceptable in Monochrome Class sections and
must be entered in Colour Class sections.
FIAP NOTES:
Monochrome Definition: 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 & white
work toned entirely in a single colour will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the
black & white category; such a work may be reproduced in black & white in the catalogue. On
the other hand a black and white work modified by partial toning or by the addition of one
colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category.
