PSA DEFINITIONS
1. PICTORIAL - 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

(For example by Sepia, red, gold etc.)
A grayscale or mul -colored image modiﬁed or giving the impression of having been modiﬁed by par al toning, mul toning or by the
inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the deﬁni on of monochrome and shall be classiﬁed as a Color Work.
2. NATURE - Nature photography sec on is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict observa on from all branches of natural
history, except anthropology and archeology, in such a fashion that a well informed person will be able to iden fy the subject material and to
cer fy as to its honest presenta on. The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality while maintaining
high technical quality. *Human elements shall not be present, except where those human elements are integral parts of the nature story such
as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks, adapted to an environment modiﬁed by humans, or where those human elements are in situa on
depic ng natural forces, like hurricanes or dal waves. *Scien ﬁc bands, scien ﬁc tags, or radio collars on wild animals are permissible.
*Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cul vated plants, feral animals, domes c animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible as is
any form of manipula on that alters the truth of the photographic statement. *No techniques that add, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial
elements except by cropping are permi ed. *Techniques that enhance the presenta on of photograph without changing the nature story or

Techniques that remove elements added by the camera, such as dust spots, digital noise, and ﬁlm scratches, are allowed. *S tched images are
not allowed. *All allowed adjustments must appear natural. *Color images can be converted to grayscale monochrome. *Infrared images,

wild are the suitable wildlife subjects, as are carcasses of extant species. Images mee ng the Wildlife Deﬁni on may be entered in Nature
sec ons as well as Wildlife sec ons.
4. PHOTOJOURNALISM - Photojournalism entries shall consists of images or sequences of images with informa ve content and emo onal
impact, including human interest, documentary and spot news. The journalis c value of Prints shall be considered over pictorial quality. In the

presenta on of the image, without changing the photojournalism content, are permi ed. All adjustments must appear natural. Color images can
