The same image may not be submitted in both the Large Pictorial Print Class and the Small Pictorial Print Class of the 2011 PSA International. Versions of the same image may be submitted in the Color and Monochrome sections of the same class. Please note: Different images with the same title or the same image with different titles will be considered the same image. The same print with different titles will be considered the same print. This does not prevent the same images from being submitted in the Nature, Photo Travel or Photojournalism print sections provided they meet the requirements and restrictions of those sections.

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.

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.

Additional PSA Medals and Honorable Mention Ribbons will be awarded depending on the number of entries received.

The four scores of each entrant of an eligible club will be totaled, then the totals of the highest entrants of that club, up to a maximum of 7 entrants, will be combined to determine that club’s score. The club with the highest total will be the winner of the Best Club award for that section.

Each Image must have a unique title. Once an image has been accepted in any PSA Recognized Exhibition, that same image, or a like “in camera” or a “reproduction” duplicate of that image may not be retitled for use in any other PSA Recognized Exhibition.

Titles will not be read aloud during judging.

Please limit titles to 35 characters including spaces and punctuation. The On-Line Entry Form software will clip any excess characters resulting in an incomplete title that could cause you problems when applying for a Star Rating.

In addition to the title, the back of each print must have the name and address of the entrant in a position that clearly indicates the top of the print from the rear. Only pressure sensitive labels may be used for titles, names and addresses on the backs of unmounted prints to prevent bleed-through of the ink. The titles on the backs of the prints must match the titles on the Entry Form.

Large Prints (Class A) may not exceed 20 inches or the metric equivalent on the longest dimension nor 16 inches or the metric equivalent in the shortest dimension.

Small print (Class B) may not exceed 12 inches or the metric equivalent in the longest dimension nor 8-1/2 inches or the metric equivalent in the shortest dimension. Standard metric A4 paper sheets meet the Class B limits.

Award winning prints will be on display at www.psaexhibition.com. Selected prints* and all award winners will also be on display at the 2011 PSA International Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado between September 19, 2011 and September 24, 2011.

*Space constraints may prevent displaying all Pictorial Print acceptances at the Conference. All award winners will be displayed. Accepted Pictorial Prints not displayed will still get full credit towards Pictorial Print Division Star Ratings and Who’s Who listing and will be listed in the Pictorial Print PDF On-Line catalog.

The status report heading indicates the time/date of the last status list update and the next scheduled status list update.

Whether you pushed the wrong key or not, the information as you entered it on the entry form, including names, titles, city and countries, will be the ones listed in the Catalog if the images are accepted.

Prior to shipping your prints you must complete a Pictorial Print Entry Form. Use of the On-Line Print Entry Form with on-line data fill-in is requested and recommended for individual entrants and required by group entrants to maximize legibility and accuracy. A separate filled-in form for each section must be mailed with the prints to the Co-Chairmen at:

                      Jan Lee, PPSA
                      Wally Lee
                      14045 Osage Drive
                      Edmond, OK 73010-1635

After you fill out the form and click on submit, you will receive separate emails with the Entry Form for each Pictorial Print section. Print out each of the forms for the sections you entered and mail them with your prints and cash or check for entry fees if not paying by PayPal. Don’t forget to sign the forms for prints that do not require being returned.

Please do not use Print Screen to capture and print the data entry form if you are using the On-Line Print Entry Form.

All prints from all locations must be shipped unmounted and flat regardless the country of origin. Separate stiffeners are recommended in the packaging when mailing unmounted prints to prevent damage during shipping. From a practical side, no mounting means less work for the entrant and less expense in shipping the prints to and from the Exhibition, resulting in lower costs and entry fees.

A box is provided on the Print Entry Form to give permission to destroy the prints after the Exhibition. Entrants giving this permission must sign in the space provided on the Entry Form and can pay the reduced fees using the Non-Return Fees above. All other entrants must pay the higher fees required by the Return Fees above. Entrants giving permission to destroy the prints without signing the Entry Form but submitting fees based on destroying the prints will be contacted by one of the Co-Chairmen to resolve the conflict by obtaining either a signed permission to destroy the prints or the payment of additional funds as required to equal the Return Fees above.

Class A (Large) prints and Class B (Small) prints may be shipped together. Return prints and Non-Return prints may be shipped together but all prints within the same section must be all Return or all Non-Return. Return prints will be shipped back to the entrant using the same packing material used to submit the prints.

Club entries shipped in a single package are preferred but not required, especially in light of new regulations for international mail to US destinations from some countries. The club name must be clearly stated on all individual Entry Forms. In addition to the individual Entry Forms, the Club Coordinator must include a separate master list with each club entrant, the fees paid by each entrant and whether the individual entrant wants their prints returned or not. If multiple packages will be shipped, this list must be in each package and should also indicate how many packages are being shipped. If the club entry includes both Return prints and Non-Return prints, packing material other than that used to submit the prints may be used to return the Return prints. Club entries must conform to the Group Entry requirements below to be eligible for the group fees.

These conditions supplement the "Submitting Prints" instructions above and must be followed for entries to be eligible for the group fees listed above. The coordinator for the group entry will be contacted if the entry does not meet all the requirements below and the prints will not be judged until the proper non-group fees have been paid.

• A Group Entry must consist of 10 or more entries, shipped at the same time, complete with electronically filled-in Entry Forms for each entry. All entries do not need to be in the same package. Entries may be for more than one section.

• The person responsible for collecting and shipping the group entry must include a legible master list of all makers included in the group entry, broken down with sections each participant entered, the fees paid by each entrant and the titles of each print each participant entered in each section. If the shipment consists of more than one package, the list must be in each package and must also indicate how many packages are being shipped. The list must also include the name and email address of the participant who will be considered the group coordinator should the Chairmen need to contact someone about the group entry.

• Participants may not pay individually using the Exhibition PayPal site. All fees must be included with the prints as either cash or check(s) made payable to "PSA". It is recommended that individual cash fees be combined into a single check payable to "PSA".

• As with individual entrants, Class A (Large) prints and Class B (Small) prints submitted by group participants may be shipped together. Return prints and Non-Return prints may be shipped together but all prints by a single maker within the same section must be all Return or all Non-Return. Return prints will be shipped back to the group coordinator using the same packing material used to submit the prints.

•A box is provided on the Print Entry Form to give permission to destroy the prints after the Exhibition. Participants giving this permission must sign in the space provided on their Entry Form and can pay entry fees using the Non-Return Group Fee above. All other participants must pay the higher fees required by the Return Group Fees above.
