Monochrome definition:
FIAP: 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.
PSA : 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
Catalogue:
Each entrant will, free of charge, receive a high quality salon catalogue on DVD suitable for PC/MAC computers including 8 pages (10x10 cm) booklet.
