The 2017 Toronto International Photography Festival - International Photography Contest - Youth Day

This contest will follow the CAPA, FIAP, and PSA photographic judgment standards.

Definitions：

  1. All entries must have been taken on Youth Day, on July 24, 2016.
  2. All components of an image must have been captured with a camera (conventional or digital) by the entrant. An image or any component of an image, whether digital or otherwise, may not have originated otherwise; for example, a digital file acquired by use of a scanner, a digital file created solely by way of software or a downloaded digital file cannot be used as a component of an image. Similarly, graphic elements that are generated solely by software (e.g. words or letters, symbols, shapes etc.) cannot be used as a component of an image.
  3. Creative borders are permissible; however, borders should be used only to mark the starting point of an image. The width of the border should not exceed 3 pixels on each side.
  4. All images and components of an image must be the entire work of the entrant. A component of an image that may otherwise be considered to be the work of someone other than the entrant is permissible provided that it is obvious that such component is not the work of the entrant (e.g. a picture of a sculpture or a billboard). There should be no uncertainty as to what work is that of the entrant and what work might be that of someone else. For example, a photograph of an Ansel Adams photograph would not be permissible but a photograph of someone looking at an Ansel Adams photograph hanging on the wall would be permissible.
  5. Substantial input by persons other than the entrant in making an image are not permitted. For example, images taken at studio workshops or in similar circumstances where persons other than the entrant are assisting or collaborating in the making of the image are not permissible.
  6. All work in creating an image must be done by the entrant. Conversely, work that is substantially mechanical or involves standard functions may be done by third parties including commercial firms. Images may be altered, either electronically or otherwise, by the maker and artwork or computer graphics created by the entrant may be incorporated if the photographic content predominates, subject to category restrictions.
