BREACH OF CONDITIONS OF ENTRY
If at any time, it is
determined in the reasonable discretion of the exhibition organizer or the
judges before, during, or after the judging of an exhibition that an entrant
has submitted entries where one or more images may fail to comply with these
Conditions of Entry, including the stated definitions, the exhibition
organizers reserve the right to delete the entry from the exhibition and void
any or all acceptances or awards in connection with the exhibition. Fees may be
forfeited or refunded in these circumstances. The entrant acknowledges that the
decision of the exhibition organizers or the judges is final.
In order to ensure that images
comply with the Conditions of Entry and definitions, the exhibition organizers
may carry out reasonable measures to verify that:
a) the
images are the original work of the entrant and
b) the
images comply with the rules and definitions as set out in these Conditions of
Entry.
These steps include, but are not limited to, questioning any entrant,
requiring the submission of RAW files or other digital files representing the
original capture of the submitted image(s), confronting the entrant with
evidence that one or more submitted images fails to comply with the Conditions
of Entry (also known as Entry Rules), and offering the entrant a reasonable
opportunity to provide counter evidence to refute the exhibition organizer’s
evidence by a set deadline. Such entries that are not cleared or are still
questionable after the entrant has presented evidence may be considered in
breach of these Conditions of Entry, and declined. Such entries may be referred
to PSA for further investigation of possible ethics violations.
PSA retains the right to investigate in any way all
complaints/suspicions of breaches of entry conditions, impose sanctions if
deemed necessary, void the acceptances of any image found to violate the PSA
rules, include the entrant’s name on the list of sanctions provided to
Exhibitions, and share such investigations with FIAP. Entrants automatically
agree to these terms by the act of entering the Exhibition and agree to
cooperate with any investigation.
