An image (or a nearly identical in-camera duplicate) previously accepted in any PSA International Color Slide Division (CSD) or Color Projected Image Division (CPID) section, regardless of media, is not eligible for entry in any CPID Division section of the 2011 PSA International.
Informative Note: PSA Recognized Exhibitions are not "THE" PSA International Exhibition. Images accepted in PSA Recognized Exhibitions but not in a past CSD or CPID section of the PSA International Exhibition may be submitted in the CPID sections of the 2011 PSA International.
The same image may not be submitted in more than one CPID Section of the 2011 PSA International. This means images submitted in one CPID Section may not be submitted in the other CPID section. This does not prevent the same images from being submitted in EID, Nature, Photo Travel or Photojournalism sections provided they meet the requirements and restrictions of those sections. Please note: Different images with the same title or the same image with different titles will be considered the same image.
Entries must originate as photographs (image-captures of object via light sensitivity) made by the entrant on photographic emulsion or acquired digitally. By virtue of submitting an entry, the entrant certifies the work as his/her own and permits the sponsors to reproduce all or part of the entered material free of charge for publication and/or display in media related to the exhibition. This will include the Exhibition (audio-visual program) of the accepted images to be shown at the 2011 PSA Conference and may include use in the PSA Journal or low resolution posting on a web site. Entrants not giving this permission will not be eligible for awards. The exhibition assumes no liability of any misuse of copyright. All final work must be on photographic film, digital file, on photographic print material or digital print material. Digital images may be acquired digitally or scanned from traditional film to create a digital file.

I am of Legal Age, and own all rights to these images, including copyright. or my parent or guardian gives permission on my behalf if I am not of Legal Age.
Informative Note: This License Agreement is over and above the permissions granted in the Original Image Statement above. The Judges will not be informed of the status of the License Agreement. Not accepting this License Agreement in no way affects whether the images submitted are accepted or whether, if accepted, the images are eligible for awards.
All acceptances are eligible for CPID Star Ratings for members of the Photographic Society of America subject to the requirements of the CPID. An on-line 8˝"x11" CPID PDF Exhibition Catalog listing acceptances in both Color Projected Image Division sections is included with your entry fee.

Please limit titles to 35 characters including spaces and punctuation. The Entry Form software will clip any excess characters resulting in an incomplete title for inclusion in the Catalog. This will cause problems when applying for Star Ratings.

You do not have to follow any naming convention for your .jpg files when you enter. The on-line entry form software will properly rename your files to meet the needs of our exhibition software.
We recommend saving your .jpg images in a special folder on your computer using the image title as the file name. That will make it easier to pick the correct image when using the Entry Form browser to attach your images.
Accepted Images, including award winners, will be on display at www.psaexhibition.com. Selected images* and all award winners will also be shown twice at the 2011 PSA International Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado between September 19, 2011 and September 24, 2011.
*Time constraints may prevent showing all CPID acceptances at the Conference. All award winners will be shown. Accepted images not included in the show will still get full credit towards Color Projected Image Division Star Ratings and Who's Who listing and will be in the CPID PDF On-Line catalog.
The entries are processed periodically and the status reported on the Exhibition Web Site. The status report heading indicates the time/date of the last status list update and the next scheduled status list update. Please be patient. Do not expect an immediate update.
