All parts of the image have to be photographed by the author who is holding the copyright of all works submitted

Titles must not include file extensions such as .jpg or .jpeg (or any other camera capture filenames such as IMG 471), Titles may not consist of personal identifiers possibly augmented by a number; or include words such as “untitled” or “no title”. Titles may not consist solely of numbers unless those numbers are prominently contained within the image, such as a contestant number in a race.

Color and Monochrome :
Color and Monochrome images from the same capture that share substantial pictorial content in common will be considered the same image and must be given the same title.

Responsibility of Copyright
The exhibition assumes no liability of any misuse of copyright.  Images may be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by the maker.  All final work must be on photographic film, or on electronic file, or on photographic or electronic print material, mounting excepted.

      ⅱ     May not be re-titled for entry in any other PSA Recognized exhibition, including translation into another language.

      ⅲ     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.

      ⅳ     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.

An image may be entered in only one section where acceptances of that image in multiple sections would be eligible for the same star path.

BREACH OF RULES AND CONDITIONS

PSA Definitions
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 Rules and Conditions, 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

PSA Definitions
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 / FIAP Definitions
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.

PSA Definitions
If another party is submitting images on the entrant’s behalf, the entrant will still be held responsible for adhering to these Conditions of Entry (Entry Rules) and will be subject to sanction for any violations to these Conditions of Entry and PSA’s Statement of Ethics that may result.

PSA Addition to the joint FIAP / PSA rules
There is one hard and fast rule, whose spirit must be observed at all times. The welfare of the subject is more important than the photograph.

         offered in PSA recognised exhibitions.

         obtaining a photograph, are highly unethical, and such photographs are not allowed in any PSA exhibitions.

         There is also a PSA policy on the use of aerial photography – aircraft, helicopters and drones.  This policy can be found
         at https://psa-photo.org/index.php?psa-policies#drone.

         The purpose of this policy is to prevent any interference with other individuals or animals which will or may cause a disturbance
         in their normal activity or disrupt the way any individuals or animals interact with their environment. Entry in this exhibition
         requires exhibitors to agree to this and other PSA policies.

         The content of images must comply with these General Conditions and with the Division and Section definitions listed in these
         conditions. Images that – in the sole opinion of the judges or the Exhibition Organizers – do not comply are likely to be disqualified
         so the entrant may be aware of the problem when considering entry into other PSA recognized exhibitions.

已 入 圍 作 品 的 重 複 使 用
一旦作品在 PSA 認證的國際攝影賽事中入圍，無論將來採用何種媒介、何種格式或採用任何標題，任何相同的圖像或接近相同的圖像都不得在後續該賽事的同一星標組別的中參賽或重複參賽。參加任何其他 PSA 認證的國際賽事時，不得重新命名（包括翻譯成另一種語言）。

違 反 參 加 規 則 和 條 件

PSA 定 義
在任何時候，本學會或評審如發現參加作品有違本學會及本章程的參加條件，本學會保留刪除有關影像的展覽及頒發獎項的權利。參加費用可能會被没收或退回。參加者必須承認本學會有最終的決定權。

為了確保影像符合參加條件和定義，本學會可採取合理措施來核實 :
           ⓐ    影像是參加者的原創 及
           ⓑ    影像符合本參加章程、規則和定義。

PSA 定 義
這些步驟包括但不限於 : 向有懷疑的參加者要求在規定的日期前提交影像的原始檔案 (RAW) 或其他數碼檔案，以証明該影像是符合參加的資格。如參加者在提交証據後仍未能釋疑，可將資料轉交 PSA 作進一步調查。

PSA / FIAP 定 義
PSA 保留以任何方式調查所有違反參加條件的投訴或懷疑。在必要時會實施制裁， 將違反 PSA 規則的任何入選影像作廢，有權將違規者列入制裁名單中及提交給展覽機構。並會與 FIAP 分享此類調查。如參加本沙龍，即自動表示同意這些條款，並同意配合任何調查。

PSA 對 FIAP / PSA 聯 合 規 則 的 補 充
拍攝對象的福利比照片更重要。我們必須時刻遵守這項規定的精神。這就是說，為了獲得照片而用活生物作誘餌，或把鳥從巢中移走這類作法是極不道德的。這類照片在自然組比賽中不應被允許，評審委員 應被提醒不要獎勵他們。

PSA / FIAP 定 義
入選名單會送交美國攝影學會 (PSA) 的 Who’s Who 用作星級計分。亦會送交國際影藝聯盟 (FIAP) 用作 FIAP 的名銜計算。

19)  PSA  自 然 組 定 義
         除了人類學和考古學外，自然攝影記錄了自然歷史的所有分支。這包括所有物質世界，無論是否有生命，是否受過人為改造。自然攝影
        必須傳達受攝景象的真實性，可以令有見識的觀賞者識別出影像的主題，滿意於作品忠實地呈現了被攝景象，並且沒有用不道德的行徑來控制
        被攝主體或景象。任何直接或間接人為活動而威脅到生物的生命或福祉都是不允許的。

        自然攝影最重要的部分是它所講述的故事。

        自然組期待收到高技術水平的作品，但是影像必須看起來自然。在後期過程中添加暗角或把背景弄朦朧是不允許的。

        人造的物體或人類活動的形跡，只有在自然故事中是一個必不可少的部分時，才可以在自然攝影作品中出現。

        拍攝在受控情況下的主體，例如動物園，是允許的。

        不允許通過冷凍、麻醉或任何其他限制自然運動的方法來控制拍攝對象。

        不允許任何改變自然影像真實性的修改。除裁剪影像外，不可以通過後期技術來刪除、添加或挪移影像中的任何元素。

         允許用技術刪除相機所造成的添加元素，例如灰塵點、雜訊和鏡頭眩光。

        允許將彩色影像完全轉換為灰度單色，但不接受局部轉換顏色、調色和用紅外線拍攝或轉換。
        允許使用相機或軟件通過景深合成 (focus stacking) 拍攝同一主體或混合曝光 (exposure blending) 輸出的影像。亦允許使用相機或影像
       拼接軟件 (image stitching) 用多重曝光，重疊視野連續拍攝所得的影像。

       就本賽事而言，自然組圖像中不允許出現暗角，裝飾、暈影。添加的任何邊框必須是黑色或白色的單個邊框，寬度不大於 3 – 5  像素。

        請 注 意 適 用 於 所 有 組 別 的  PSA 主題聲明。

20)  PSA  旅 遊 攝 影 組 定 義
        旅遊攝影作品必須能自然地表逹當地的明顯特點或文化。作品沒有地域限制。為拍攝而安排的活動、表演或被拍攝者因為攝影而被導演或
        僱用作拍攝的影像，都不符合旅遊組的資格。無論人或物的特寫都必須包含有關的環境信息。
        除裁切外，不允許任何添加、移位、替換或移除原始影像元素的技巧。允許移除因相機入塵、數碼雜訊以恢復影像的原始面貌。可以將
        彩色影像全部轉換成灰階單色影像。其他衍生作品 (包括紅外線在內) 是不可以的，所有允許的調整都必須顯得自然。

        請 注 意 適 用 於 所 有 組 別 的  PSA 主題聲明。

21)  除非有特別聲明，本學會擁有將任何參賽作品刊登於沙龍目錄、本學會網站、報章、刊物和展覽的權利，而不需給與作者任何報酬、索酬等。

23)  獎 項 表
          ( 100 枚獎牌和獎項，包括 PSA，GPU 和 UAPA 獎牌以及優異獎。)

24)  主 題 和 定 義
        PSA 關於創作題材的聲明有一條硬性規定，必須遵守其精神，並適用於 PSA 認證賽事的所有組別。

        這就是說，為了獲取拍攝照片而用生物來作為誘餌或從巢中移走鳥類等做法是極不道德的，並且此類照片在任何 PSA 認證賽事中都是不允許的。

        針對航空攝影，使用飛機、直升機和無人機拍攝，還有一項 PSA 政策。可以在  https://psa-photo.org/index.php?psa-policies#drone 
        中找到此政策。

        該政策的目的是防止對其他個人或動物的干擾，這些干擾將或可能導致其正常活動受到干擾，或破壞任何個人或動物與環境互動的方式。
        參加本賽事需要參賽者同意本政策和 PSA 的其他政策。
