FIAP stipulate the basic criteria for each competition, Projected Images, Colour and Mono Prints, but it is left to each nation to determine their theme. 5 judges of mixed nationality then judge the entries - usually 2 from the host country, one from FIAP and two from other countries. Points are awarded for the quality of the images and for the coherence of the total entry and, with our tight themes, we have done very well indeed.
