Eligibility:
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 prints will
not be presented to the judges consecutively. An entrant's four
prints will be distributed throughout four rounds of judging in that
section. Distribution will be in the same 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 be disqualified without refund of fee.
The exhibition assumes
no liability of any misuse of copyright.
All final work must be
on photographic or electronic print material, mounting excepted.
Images may not be
altered. Artwork or computer graphics may not be incorporated.
No title or
identification of the maker shall be visible anywhere on the face of an entry.
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:
1.
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.
2.
May not be re-titled for entry in any other PSA
Recognized exhibition, including translation into another language.
3.
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.
4.
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.
Titles longer than 35
characters will be truncated.
Any particular image may
be entered in only one section of this exhibition.
By entering this exhibition, you are
explicitly consenting to the personal details you have supplied, including
email addresses, being held, processed and used by the exhibition organizers
for purposes associated with this exhibition. You also explicitly consent to
such information being sent to PSA. You acknowledge and accept that entering
this exhibition means that the status and results of your entry may be made
public.
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.
NOTICE: On the entry form you
will see a feature to affirm that you have read these Conditions of Entry. If
you do not so affirm, your prints will not be judged.
Competition Rules:
The Delaware Print
Exhibition has two PHOTO TRAVEL sections:
People and Places
-- All entries must meet the Photo Travel definition in addition to meeting the
theme of the section.
-- Prints may be submitted in either color
or monochrome. The same image submitted in color and monochrome are
considered the same image and are not allowed.
-- Entrants are limited to a maximum of
four (4) Small Prints in each section.
-- All prints must be kept to a maximum
size of 8-1/2" x 12" (A4) or smaller.
Any size or ratio within these limits is acceptable.
-- The reverse shall show the name and address of the maker, and be titled and numbered to match the entry
form. Pressure sensitive (self-adhesive) labels are advised.
-- Prints should be unmounted
and mailed FLAT.
-- Entrants should not submit prints that
virtually duplicate each other or differ only slightly. Only one of
such images will be judged.
Photo Travel Definition:
A Photo Travel image
expresses the characteristic features or culture of a land as they are found
naturally. There are no geographic 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 greyscale monochrome. Other
derivations, including infrared, are not permitted. All allowed adjustments
must appear natural.
