About

Ontario is Canada's second largest province, covering more than 1 million square kilometres (415,000 square miles) Experts aren’t sure about the exact translation of “Ontario”.  They know “Ontario” comes from an Iroquois word for beautiful water, beautiful lake, or big body of water.

People have lived in what is now Ontario for more than 12,000 years. Before the arrival of the European settlers, Algonquian- and Iroquoian-speaking Aboriginals had settled on the land.

Ontario is a study in contrasts. The varied landscape includes the vast, rocky, and mineral-rich Canadian Shield, which separates the fertile farmland in the south and the grassy lowlands of the north.

Ontario’s more than 250,000 lakes contain about one-fifth of the world's fresh water in summer, temperatures can soar above 30°C (86°F), while in winter they can drop below -40°C (-40°F)

Ontario's varied climate and geography support habitat for more than 3,600 species of plants, 154 species of fish, 50 species of amphibians and reptiles, 483 species of birds, and more than 81 species of mammals. In Ontario's southernmost regions, you will find prickly pear cactus and sassafras trees, while polar bears roam our northern tundra.

The 2nd Ontario International Photo Salon, 2024 is with the patronage of the Federation Internationale de l'Art Photographique (FIAP) 2024/452 and the recognition by the Photographic Society of America (PSA) 2024-1363 , the patronage of the International Society of Fine Art (ISFA) 2024-P108.

The salon will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the PSA, FIAP & ISFA. Acceptances obtained in this salon will be taken into account for ISFA, FIAP Distinctions and PSA Star Rating listings in the worldwide PSA Who’s Who of Photography.

Salon

Show us any aspect of any city, its people, traditions & culture, Street photography, city life & cityscape. By cityscape photograph (urban landscape) we mean a landscape photograph showing the physical aspects of a city or urban area. Only color images are allowed in this section.
A landscape photograph is broad and may include rural or urban settings, industrial areas, or nature photography. It commonly involves photography of natural features of land, sky and waters, at a distance, though some landscapes may involve subjects in a scenic setting nearby, even close-up. Only color images are allowed in this section.
The main subject must be human food. There are no time or food type restrictions, so you can photograph fruits, raw ingredients, cooking items, or fully cooked foods.
There is no limit to the place and time of photography, you can take photos anywhere, such as nature, fields, studios, etc.
The purpose of this section is to highlight the beauty and uniqueness of everyday objects. It allows photographers to explore the beauty of everyday objects in a new light.
Manmade objects like pots, vases, consumer products, handicrafts etc. or natural objects like plants, fruits, vegetables, food, rocks, shells etc. can be taken as subjects for still life photography.

Human subjects or landscape and nature are not accepted in this section.

FIAP

A black and white work fitting from the very dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with various shades of grey. A black and white work toned entirely in a single color will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category; such a work can be reproduced in black and white in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage. On the other hand, a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the addition of one color becomes a color work (polychrome) to stand in the color category; such a work requires color reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.

PSA

An image is considered to be Monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no color (i.e. contains only shades of grey which can include pure black and pure white) OR it gives the impression of being a greyscale image that has been toned in one color across the entire image. (For example, by sepia, red, gold, etc.) A greyscale or multi-colored image modified or giving the impression of having been modified by partial toning, multi-toning or by the inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the definition of monochrome and shall be classified as a Color Work.
Attention is drawn to the PSA Statement on Subject Matter which applies to all sections.
