Important FIAP Updates
Distinctions 2024
|
|
|
|
|
|
The closing date for applications for FIAP distinctions in 2024 will be 28 February 2024.
|
|
We will open applications on 01 November 2023 but anyone who is interested in applying for a FIAP distinction should contact the FIAP Liaison Officer, Paul Stanley, at stanleyp38@gmail.com who can advise on how to proceed.
|
|
It is important to note that every salon organiser has to return a file to FIAP listing all acceptances and awards. FIAP then check all acceptances and awards which you list on your application form for any FIAP distinction against this list. Some organisers are slow in making these returns. So there is a good possibility that any acceptance or award gained from January 2024 onwards may not be known to FIAP by the time the application is received.
|
|
You might want to ensure that you meet the requirements by the end of December 2023.
|
And for AFIAP and EFIAP applications please read the following notice in relation to Print Acceptances.
|
FIAP Print Requirements for 2024 Onwards
|
During the Covid Pandemic and associated lockdown situations worldwide, FIAP temporarily removed the requirement for print acceptances in AFIAP and EFIAP distinction applications.
|
FIAP have confirmed that this temporary removal of the requirement will not apply for distinction applications in 2024.
|
This means that anyone in Ireland who wishes to apply for the AFIAP or EFIAP Distinction in 2024 will have to meet the print requirements.
|
- For AFIAP you must have at least 4 acceptances with 4 different images in print sections of salons
- For EFIAP you must have at least 12 acceptances with 12 different images in print sections of salons. These can include the 4 used for your AFIAP distinction
- In all cases you can also have digital image acceptances for the same images.
The requirement for prints never applied for the other FIAP Distinctions - only for AFIAP and EFIAP. So those applying for any of the other FIAP distinctions do not need to have print acceptances - though it must be said that supporting print salons is important so that we can maintain the wonderful tradition of the printed image.
