PAGB INTER-CLUB PRINT CHAMPIONSHIP
RULES OF ENTRY Issue 19 - July 2013
APPENDIX ONE

FIAP Definition of 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. 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 to stand in the colour category.
PAGB Nature Definition Issue 1, Feb 2013
Nature photography depicts living, untamed animals and uncultivated plants in a
natural habitat, geology and the wide diversity of natural phenomena.
Photographs of animals which are domesticated and photographs of cultivated or
hybrid plants are ineligible.
Minimal evidence of humans is acceptable for nature subjects, such as barn owls or storks adapting to an environment modified by humans, or natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves, reclaiming it. Any manipulation or modification is limited to minor retouching and must not alter the truth of the original scene. Note: PAGB Competitions are not Wildlife Competitions, unless otherwise specified, and Nature photographers frequently take pictures of animals under “controlled conditions” in order to record species or behaviour that would be very difficult or impossible to record in the wild. Such photographs are eligible for entry to PAGB Competitions. So too are pictures of “wild” flowers growing in parkland or “wild” gardens provided these have not been modified by such cultivation. New Nature Definition requiring New Para 4, renumbering of subsequent paras & addition of Appendix One. Enquiries to Rod Wheelans, 43 Lovers Walk, DUMFRIES, DG1 1LR
