FIAP B&W Biennial

PSNZ invites members to submit images for consideration for selection for this year’s PSNZ entry into the FIAP 35th Black and White (B&W) Print Biennial. At least one of the New Zealand prints will be included as a part of the B&W Exhibition being displayed in India during the 35th FIAP Congress this year. About 40 countries will be entering and we are aiming for a top ten finish. The theme for the PSNZ entry is: Our Sporting Culture

The selectors for the NZ submission will be Lynn Clayton Hon PSNZ APSNZ EFIAP ESFIAP, Ann Bastion FPSNZ EFIAP MFIAP and Moira Blincoe LPSNZ.

You are invited to submit a maximum of four borderless images in jpeg format only; (landscape or portrait format but preferably horizontal format.); compression 10, at 300 dpi and 1920 on the longest side (approx. 2 megabytes).

These will be printed to 30x40cm.

Please include your name as a part of the file name. (ie Joe Blogs-Catch That Ball.jpg)

The PSNZ entry can only have one image per author. Unsuccessful image files will be deleted shortly after the selection process is concluded. No watermarks are to be included on images.

Images that do not meet above criteria will not be considered for selection.

The selectors decision will be final. Each entrant will be advised of the outcome of their submission.

If you have any queries please e-mail Ann Bastion (ajbastion@gmail.com)

Submit your files via the PSNZ website, members area, ‘FIAP Biennial submission’ tab, by Wednesday 25 March (but preferably in February). Selecting will take place Sunday 29 March.
