All techniques and creativity are allowed. The images must be in color and correspond to the PSA and FIAP definition of “Open COLOR” photography in the rules.

“Stairs”
Monochrome only

For the submitted images, this involves photographing a staircase or staircases, whether as architectural photography, street photography or mise-en-scene. In all cases, the staircase(s) should be the main subject of the image.
This section is a monochrome section and color images are not allowed.

“The beauty of THE gesture”
Color only

Images of this section look for the beauty of the gesture, its perfection, its peak, the magic moment when the body of the dancer, the sportsman, the actor, the acrobat… finds its balance, its grace, its lightness, its power. The moment when the hands of the craftsman, the artist, the child… enchant us.
This section is a color section and monochrome images are not allowed.

“Intentional blur”
Color only

All types of blur are possible in images of that section, from focus blur to motion blur, from intentional camera movement to panning. For this theme, we are looking for intentional blur, for images that are entirely blurred or dominated by blur, so that blur becomes an essential element of the image.
This section is a color section and monochrome images are not allowed.
