“Open Color” is the section in which color photos of any category are accepted, regardless of their theme.
“Open Mono – 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 color will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category; such a work can be reproduced in black and white in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage. On the other hand a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the addition of one color becomes a color work (polychrome) to stand in the color category; such a work requires color reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.
“Nature” is the section in which only color or monochrome photos are accepted that portray the natural world without the presence of human beings or their interventions, which can be represented by roads, fences, anchorages, electrical networks, buildings or any other elements characteristic. The “Nature” section includes the subcategories: native fauna, native flora, natural landscapes, astronomical photography, macro photography and underwater photography.
The images to be inscribed in the “Nature” section can only be cut, and the use of techniques that add, remove or replace pictorial elements is not allowed, nor the use of montages.
The images to be entered in the sections “Open Color“ and “Open Mono“ are not subject to the restrictions specified for the section “Nature“ and can be changed by the participant.
No. All photos or photographic components used in montages must have been photographed by the participant.
In case the photo does not fit the definitions specified for the section in which it was presented, after the registration stage closes, when the trial stage begins, it will be disqualified and cannot be accepted and/or awarded.

The site used to manage Photo Nature International has a Status tab, through which all registered participants can follow their status in the contest (and that of the other registered ones), including name, country of origin, number of photos sent in each section and registration payment status.
The choice will be made basically through the sum of points awarded by the three judges in each section and will be carried out in two rounds, choosing the accepted and awarded photos. However, we must emphasize that no participant can receive more than one prize in each of the three sections, which guarantees the award of at least 40 participants in the contest.
The best authors’ awards can be attributed to the participants who have been awarded in the three sections. This extra award will be based on the score for the number of awards, the number of acceptances.
The participation of any photographic association, Brazilian or foreign, is allowed, such as: photo clubs, photographic associations, photographic societies, photographic collectives, among other denominations. When registering, participants must register in their register the name of the organization to which they are linked.
In order to establish the classification, the number of awards and acceptances obtained by the group of members linked to each association will be considered.
The award consists of the delivery of certificates or any other form of expression that applies.
At the end of the contest, the organization will send a notification card with your personal result to the email of all participants.
In addition, the final result, containing the complete list of acceptances and awards from all participants, will be published in the Results tab of the website used for the management of Photo Nature International.
Yes, Photo Nature International will present a “pdf” catalog in due course, which will be sent to all participants who have registered.
