DEFINITIONS
All images entered MUST comply with the FIAP & GPU definitions below.
Images failing to do so will not be judged.
Monochrome FIAP 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 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 color reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under
FIAP Patronage.
Please also go through the FIAP and GPU website for any possible latest updates on definition of Monochrome/Color/Photo Travel
