DEFINITIONS | 名词定义
All entries shall conform to the stricter of these definitions to be validated by all organizations granting recognition or patronage.
PROJECTED IMAGE MONOCHROME OPEN
An image is considered to be Monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no color (i.e. contains only shades of gray which can include pure black and pure white) OR it gives the impression of being a grayscale image that has been toned in one color across the entire image. (For example by Sepia, red, gold, etc.) A grayscale or multi-colored image modified or giving the impression of having been modified by partial toning, multi toning or by the inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the definition of monochrome and shall be classified as a Color Work.
PROJECTED IMAGE COLOR – HUMAN ACTIVITIES
Human Activities Definition
Any form of human activity that intrigues and captures the attention of viewers. There are no limits. It could be a community or individuals celebrating festivals or observing cultural traditions, men and women working, socialising or just relaxing, or children studying, having fun or engaging in sports are some examples. These scenes may be staged if necessary.
Digital enhancements and cropping of images are permitted, if these help to bring into focus your subjects to enhance the viewing experience of your audience. Also allowed are the removal of dust or digital noise, restoration of the appearance of the original scene.
Not encouraged are techniques that add, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, and other derivations, including infrared. We also do not encourage composites.
Submitted images that are natural with the minimum or no technical interventions will rank high in our decision to pick winners.
Attention is drawn to the PSA Statement on Subject Matter which applies to all sections
任何参赛作品都必须严格遵守下列由各颁发证书或资助机构确认的定义。
