Accreditation/Accréditation

 

What is Accreditation?


Accreditation is the first elevation above the general membership level, and is achieved by submitting samples of the applicant’s photography to a PPOC Board of Review for Accreditation. Accreditation demonstrates that the photographer is capable of delivering above average quality photography in a chosen category.

In assessing Accreditation Submissions, the judges will consider the following criteria: Impact, Creativity, Style, Composition, Presentation,Color Balance, Centre of Interest, Lighting, Subject Matter, Print Quality, Technique, Story Telling

A minimum of one Accreditation is required to qualify for a Craftsman Award and two accreditations are needed for a Masters Award.

 

Qu’est-ce que l’accréditation?


L’accréditation est le premier niveau au-dessus du statut de membre régulier que le candidat peut atteindre en soumettant des échantillons de ses photographies à un Comité de révision des demandes d’accréditation du PPOC. L’obtention de l’accréditation montre que le photographe est en mesure de rendre un produit de qualité supérieure à la moyenne dans une catégorie précise.

Pour l’évaluation des dossiers de candidature à l’accréditation les juges prendront en considération les critères suivants : l’impact, la créativité, le style, la composition, la présentation, l’équilibre chromatique, le centre de l’intérêt, l’éclairage, le thème, la qualité d’impression, la technique et l’histoire qui est racontée.

Il faut au moins une accréditation pour être éligible à un prix de l’Artisan et deux accréditations pour un prix du Maître.
