SALONS |
|
Salons
are held at national and international level. At national level, only
entries received from photographers resident in South Africa are
accepted. International salons are held in various countries. |
|
All the details concerning a salon can
be found on the entry form. |
|
The judging of images is normally handled by
three judges, either together in the same venue or remotely at their own
homes. The salon director determines the acceptance mark that
determines the required number of images to be exhibited.
Medals and COM's are also awarded in the various sections. All salon
acceptances obtained by photographers are recorded. |
|
 |
As soon as the required number of
acceptances have been obtained, full members of PSSA may apply for
diamond ratings in various sections.
A trophy is awarded annually to the
photographer who received the highest number of acceptances in the club. |
| A salon provides the photographer with the opportunity
to determine the standard of his work and to measure it against that of
other photographers. Salons fall under the strict control of the
Photographic Society of Southern Africa and provision is made for,
digital images, colour prints, black-and-white prints and
audio-visuals. The rules and regulations regarding salons
are available from the
PSSA and well
as the closing dates of forthcoming salons and the results of
recently held salons. |
