(1) Open section
(2) Architecture section
All entries in the Open section must conform to the Photo Travel Definition given below.
All entries in the Architecture section must conform to the Photo Travel Definition given below and the Architecture Definition given below.
An entry consists of 1-4 digital images in one section by a single person. Entries in each section will be judged in 4 rounds using a 15 point scoring system (1-5 points/judge). All images, whether Open or Architecture, must conform to the Photo Travel Definition given below.
The exhibition is open to anyone; however, an entry may be rejected when the sponsoring organization or its agent, in its reasonable discretion, believes the entry does not conform to the exhibition rules and conditions.
A Photo Travel image must express the feeling of a time and place, portray a land, its people, or a culture in its natural state. Photo Travel images have no geographical limitations. Ultra close-ups which lose their identity and studio-type model shots are unacceptable. Techniques that add to, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not permitted. Techniques that enhance the presentation if the image, without changing the photo travel content, are permitted. All adjustments must appear natural. The removal, or manipulation, of colors contained within the original image to enable the production of monochrome images is permitted.
A Photo Travel image in Architecture must illustrate a time and/or a place, way of life or culture by way of man-made structures. The Architecture image must not be close up unless it clearly exhibits Photo Travel as defined. As with all Photo Travel Entries, the theme must conform to the Photo Travel Definition.

The maker’s name and/or image title shall not be in the image area or in any other area visible to the judges of any digital files, slides or prints. This includes copyrights.
An image (or a nearly identical in-camera duplicate) previously accepted in any PSA International Photo Travel section, regardless of media, is not eligible for entry in any Photo Travel Division section of the 2011 PSA International.
The same image may not be submitted in more than one Photo Travel Section of the 2011 PSA International regardless of the media. This means images submitted in either Photo Travel Digital Section may not be submitted in the other Photo Travel Digital section or in either Photo Travel Print section. This does not prevent the same images from being submitted in EID, CPID, Nature or Photojournalism sections provided they meet the requirements 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 hereby give PSA permission to use my submitted images in PSA Educational Programs produced on CD's, DVD's or in Downloadable form, using ProShow Gold or equivalent software that does not allow program users access to individual images, for use by PSA Members, Clubs, Chapters and Councils wherever they may be. 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.
An on-line 8˝"x11" PDF Photo Travel Exhibition Catalog listing acceptances in all four Photo Travel Division sections is included with your entry fee. A link will be included on the Exhibition Web Site www.psaexhibition.com so you can email the Catalog to yourself and save as an electronic file and/or print out. This is the same Catalog that will be provided to the Photo Travel Division Star Ratings Director and includes color reproductions of the medal winning images. Printed hard copies of the Catalogs will not be mailed the the entrants.

Each Image must have a unique title. Once an image has been accepted in any PSA Recognized Exhibition, regardless of section or Division, that same image, or a like “in camera” or a “reproduction” duplicate of that image may not be retitled if used 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 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.
Borders are allowed for travel images but are not recommended. If you do use a border, we recommend you limit it to a thin stroke that separates the image area from the black projection background. Wide borders and decorative borders that draw attention from the Photo Travel image are discouraged and could hurt your scores.
Use sRGB color space for your .jpg files to provide better quality under the projection conditions used for judging the exhibition and producing the exhibition show. Do not use CMYK color space. CMYK images will not project correctly during judging.

Maximum digital image width (horizontal) is 1400 pixels. |

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 Photo Travel Digital acceptances at the Conference. All award winners will be shown. Accepted images not included in the show will still get full credit towards Photo Travel Division Star Ratings and Who's Who listing and will be in the Photo Travel 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. Do not expect an immediate update.
