Monochrome Definitions
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 Mon-
ochrome 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.

Nature Definition
Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches of natural history,
except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the
subject material and certify its honest presentation. The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more
than the pictorial quality while maintaining high technical quality. Human elements shall not be present, except
where those human elements are integral parts of the nature story such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks,
adapted to an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in situations depicting natural
forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. Scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals are permis-
sible. Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domestic animals, or mounted
specimens are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement.

No techniques that add, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are permitted. Tech-
niques that enhance the presentation of the photograph without changing the nature story or the pictorial content,
or without altering the content of the original scene, are permitted including HDR, focus stacking and dodging/
burning. Techniques that remove elements added by the camera, such as dust spots, digital noise, and film scratch-
es, are allowed. Stitched images are not permitted. All allowed adjustments must appear natural. Color images can
be converted to grey-scale monochrome. Infrared images, either direct-captures or derivations, are not allowed.

Images used in Nature Photography competitions may be divided in two classes: Nature and Wildlife. Images
entered in Nature sections meeting the Nature Photography Definition above can have landscapes, geologic for-
mations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the primary subject matter. This includes images taken with
the subjects in controlled conditions, such as zoos, game farms, botanical gardens, aquariums and any enclosure
where the subjects are totally dependent on man for food.

Photo Travel Definition

A Photo Travel image expresses the characteristic features or culture of a land as they are found naturally. There
are no geographical limitations. Images from events or activities arranged specifically for photography, or of
subjects directed or hired for photography are not appropriate, close up pictures of people or objects must include
features that provide information about the environment.

Techniques that add, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not
permitted. The only allowable adjustments are removal of dust or digital noise, restoration of the appearance of the
original scene, and complete conversion to grayscale monochrome. Other derivations, including infrared, are not
permitted. All images must look natural.

Monochrome Definitions
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 Mon-
ochrome 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.

Nature Definition
Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches of natural history,
except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the
subject material and certify its honest presentation. The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more
than the pictorial quality while maintaining high technical quality. Human elements shall not be present, except
where those human elements are integral parts of the nature story such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks,
adapted to an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in situations depicting natural
forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. Scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals are permis-
sible. Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domestic animals, or mounted
specimens are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement.

No techniques that add, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are permitted. Tech-
niques that enhance the presentation of the photograph without changing the nature story or the pictorial content,
or without altering the content of the original scene, are permitted including HDR, focus stacking and dodging/
burning. Techniques that remove elements added by the camera, such as dust spots, digital noise, and film scratch-
es, are allowed. Stitched images are not permitted. All allowed adjustments must appear natural. Color images can
be converted to grey-scale monochrome. Infrared images, either direct-captures or derivations, are not allowed.

Images used in Nature Photography competitions may be divided in two classes: Nature and Wildlife. Images
entered in Nature sections meeting the Nature Photography Definition above can have landscapes, geologic for-
mations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the primary subject matter. This includes images taken with
the subjects in controlled conditions, such as zoos, game farms, botanical gardens, aquariums and any enclosure
where the subjects are totally dependent on man for food.

Photo Travel Definition

A Photo Travel image expresses the characteristic features or culture of a land as they are found naturally. There
are no geographical limitations. Images from events or activities arranged specifically for photography, or of sub-
jects directed or hired for photography are not appropriate, close up pictures of people or objects must include
features that provide information about the environment.

Techniques that add, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not
permitted. The only allowable adjustments are removal of dust or digital noise, restoration of the appearance of
the original scene, and complete conversion to grayscale monochrome. Other derivations, including infrared, are
not permitted. All images must look natural.

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

Entrants who submit images which are created with Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be disqualified from the entire
competition.
RAW FILES
All Entrants must submit RAW files of their images which have been submitted for Nature & Wildlife (Open) /
Travel (Open) sections via “wetrasfer” or “Google Drive” to npasexhibitions@gmail.com before 14th June 2024.
