Closing date for registration: 1st JULY 2024 .

CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION
The participation in the Biennial is free and is ONLY open for the FIAP Operational Members which have paid their
annual membership fee.
Each federation will select itself the works (the collection) it wants to present. This collection has to be coherent as well
for the inspiration and the conception as for the realization and the presentation. The federation has the choice of the
subject and the presentation of its works. A title for the collection is mandatory.
The works must not have been sent to any previous FIAP Biennials. The images must not have any signature, text or
distinctive mark on it.
PICTURES CREATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ARE NOT ALLOWED IN FIAP BIENNIALS!

It is reminded that all parts of the image have to be photographed by the author who is holding the copyright of
all works submitted. Offenders will be sanctioned for life!
The participating works have to be in agreement with the FIAP definition of the Black and White photography
(monochrome).
Definition of the black and white photography (monochrome)

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 colour reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.
With the sole act of submitting his/her images or files to a FIAP Biennial, the entrant accepts without exception and with
no objection:
• that the submitted images can be investigated by FIAP to establish if these obey to FIAP regulations and
definitions even if the entrant is not a member of FIAP
• that FIAP will use any means at its disposal for this undertaking
• that any refusal to cooperate with FIAP or any refusal to submit the original files as captured by the camera, or
failure to provide sufficient evidence, will be sanctioned by FIAP
• that in case of sanctions following the non-compliance with FIAP regulations, the name of the entrant will be
released in any form useful to inform the breaches of the rules
It is recommended to leave the EXIF data in the submitted files intact in order to ease eventual investigations.
The judging of the collections is made in two steps:

1) the judging of each work of the collection
2) the global judgement of the collection
The total score of a collection is obtained thereafter by the addition of the points from the two different judgements.
Registration and image upload only via the FIAP website: https://www.fiap.net/en/biennials
