BREACH OF CONDITIONS OF ENTRY 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.
In
order to ensure that images comply with the Conditions of Entry and
definitions, the exhibition organizers may carry out reasonable measures
to verify that: a) the images are the original work of the entrant and b) the images comply with the rules and definitions as set out in these Conditions of Entry
These
steps include, but are not limited to, questioning any entrant,
requiring the submission of RAW files or other digital files
representing the original capture of the submitted image(s), confronting
the entrant with evidence that one or more submitted images fails to
comply with the Conditions of Entry (also known as Entry Rules), and
offering the entrant a reasonable opportunity to provide counter
evidence to refute the exhibition organizer’s evidence by a set
deadline. Such entries that are not cleared or are still questionable
after the entrant has presented evidence may be considered in breach of
these Conditions of Entry, and declined. Such entries may be referred to
PSA for further investigation of possible ethics violations.
PSA
retains the right to investigate in any way all complaints/suspicions
of breaches of entry conditions, impose sanctions if deemed necessary,
void the acceptances of any image found to violate the PSA rules,
include the entrant’s name on the list of sanctions provided to
Exhibitions, and share such investigations with FIAP. Entrants
automatically agree to these terms by the act of entering the Exhibition
and agree to cooperate with any investigation.
If
another party is submitting images on the entrant’s behalf, the entrant
will still be held responsible for adhering to these Conditions of
Entry (Entry Rules) and will be subject to sanction for any violations
to these Conditions of Entry and PSA’s Statement of Ethics that may
result.
CONDITIONS OF ENTRY The
exhibition is open to anyone; however, an entry may be rejected when
the sponsoring organization or its agent, in its reasonable discretion,
believes the entry does not conform to the exhibition rules and
conditions.
An entrant’s images will not be
presented to the judges consecutively. An entrant’s four images will be
distributed throughout four rounds of judging in that section.
Distribution of images shall be in the same round order as submitted by
the entrant.
Entries must originate as
photographs (image-captures of objects via light sensitivity) made by
the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. By virtue of
submitting an entry, the entrant certifies the work as his own (aliases
are not permitted). 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. Note: Entrants who indicate that their
images may not be reproduced or used “will not be eligible for awards”
or inclusion in audio-visuals of the exhibition “and could be subject to
disqualification” by the exhibition sponsors.
The
exhibition assumes no liability of any misuse of copyright. Images may
be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by the maker. Artwork
or computer graphics created by the entrant may be incorporated provided
the photographic content predominates, subject to Nature, Photo Travel
and Photojournalism divisional restrictions.
All
final work must be on photographic film, or on electronic file, or on
photographic or electronic print material, mounting excepted.
No
title or identification of the maker shall be visible anywhere on the
face of an image, print mat or mount entered in a PSA Recognized
exhibition.
Each image must have a unique
title. Once an image has been accepted in a PSA Recognized exhibition,
that same image, or a like “in camera” or a “reproduction” duplicate of
that image: i. may not be entered or re-entered in any
section of the same Division Star Ratings class in that exhibition
regardless of media, format, or title. ii. may not be re-titled for entry in any other PSA Recognized exhibition, including translation into another language. iii.
images meeting the Monochrome Definition and non-manipulated color
images from the same capture shall be considered the same image and must
be given the same title. iv. PSA members working on Galaxy
and Diamond Star Ratings shall be allowed to continue using different
titles of monochrome versions and color versions of the same capture
that have already been accepted until the required number of acceptances
for those titles have been completed.
Words such as “Untitled” and “No Title” are not acceptable as part or all of an image’s title, nor are camera capture filenames.
An
image may be entered in only one section where acceptances of that
image in multiple sections would be eligible for the same star path.
The target acceptance rate will be between 30% and 35% in each section.
DRONE POLICY
The Board approved a new policy on the use of drones and it is available here https://psaphoto.
org/index.php?psa-policies&a=view&faq_id=1632. The policy has a legal section which
basically requires members to follow whatever laws exist in the country in which they are
using a drone. There is also an ethical component to the policy and it states :
One of the tenets of photography, is that the safety and well-being of the subject, photographer
and surroundings is of paramount importance over the capturing of the photograph. The
purpose of this section is to prevent any interference with other individuals or animals which
will or may cause a disturbance in their normal activity or disrupt the way an individual or
animal interacts with its environment. 1. May not fly a drone above people for the purpose of photographing their activity, unless
permission is granted in writing 2. May not fly or photograph animals in their natural habitat, especially nesting areas and
locations where the animal is already under stress (winter survival, migratory feeding,
protecting young). Photographing scenery/landscapes is permissible. 3. May not fly or photograph in any designated wilderness area

fast rule, whose spirit must be observed at all times and applies to all
sections offered in PSA recognised exhibitions. The welfare of the subject is more important than the 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 PSA exhibitions.
- Monochrome images may
be entered in PID Color sections except Open color section but if
accepted will only be eligible towards PID Color Star Ratings. - Each photo can be presented in only one section.
