FIAP DISTINCTIONS

Ever been tempted to enter for a FIAP Distinction but been put off by the timescales involved? Well good news…. FIAP have modified their requirements for the AFIAP and EFIAP with immediate effect and their new requirements are:

AFIAP (Artiste: Federation International of Photographic Art)

You now need to achieve 30 acceptances from at least 10 different works in 10 different salons(**) in 5 different countries. The period over which these can be achieved has been reduced from five years to one year. In addition the PAGB require you to also achieve a minimum of one “award” in that period.

EFIAP (Excellence: Federation of International Photographic Art)

No sooner than one year after AFIAP has been awarded you can apply for an EFIAP provided you have achieved a total (including AFIAP) of 150 acceptances with a total of 50 works in 30 different salons (**) in 15 different countries.

The PAGB require that you achieve a minimum of five “awards” (including those gained for the AFIAP)

** Salons. All Salons must have FIAP Patronage. A Salon may only been counted once but all acceptances in all the years will be eligible.

Applications are submitted once a year by the PAGB to FIAP and have to be with the PAGB/FIAP Liaison Officer before 31^st December.

For further information and details of current fees please send an SAE (A5 minimum) to:

As you and your members are all obviously extremely enthusiastic about photography, I'd like to offer your members the opportunity to apply for a place prior to the official launch at the end of this week for entries.

Places are limited to 50 and will be chosen on a first come, first served basis. To apply for a place click on this link or go to http://worldwidephotowalk.com/winchester-en-uk/.
