FIAP NEWS- October 2020
|
FIAP Distinctions Update
|
For a number of years the IPF – as allowed for under the FIAP Distinction Regulations – have had a number of local requirements for those applying for AFIAP.
|
It was decided at the IPF Council meeting on 17th October 2020 that these will be suspended with immediate effect.
|
|
The impact of this is that those applying for AFIAP in the upcoming application process will only have to adhere to the FIAP requirements. There are no changes for those applying for EFIAP and the EFIAP levels and also for MFIAP.
|
A reminder that the schedule for this year is that submissions will open on 1st November 2020 and will close on 28th February 2021.
|
|
You should initially register on the IPF website and pay the relevant fee there.
|
|
If you are applying for the first distinction – AFIAP – then you also have to register with FIAP and apply for a FIAP Life Card. There is a separate fee for this. You can make this application via the FIAP online platform at www.myfiap.net
|
|
There is a link at the bottom of the screen called “Create new Photographer profile”. Click on this – and then look at the video by clicking on the link in the Red Banner with the words “Video tutorial on how to order the FIAP card”.
|
|
All the information you need is on the IPF website under the FIAP pages.
|
All applicants should also let the FIAP Liaison Officer – Paul Stanley – know of your intention to apply. You can contact him via the Contact page on the IPF website.

FIAP Distinctions Presentation Ceremony
|
There were 16 people who applied for and were successful in obtaining FIAP distinctions in 2020. Due to the current restrictions relating to Covid-19, we have not been able to have our traditional Presentation Ceremony with the accompanying exhibition of prints.
|
|
The certificates and pins for all 16 have now been posted to them and all have been invited to an online Presentation Ceremony which will take place on Saturday 31st October 2020.
|
|
The IPF President and the FIAP President will also be present to honour the recipients.
|
|
FIAP Photo Academy
|
|
|
FIAP has announced an online Photo Academy which will be an online resource for photographers interested in furthering their photographic skills. There will be two arms to this – a training academy and online presentation by eminent photographers.
|
|
The first of these will take place on Thursday 29th October 2020 at 19:00. It will be a presentation by the UK based photographer, Paul Keene MPAGB EFIAP/d3 MFIAP.
|
Places are limited – so first come first served.

I am pleased to announce that the 15th World Cup for Clubs 2020 will definitely be proceeding. The arrangements and entry information are still being finalised but will be sent to FIAP Liaison Officers when the details have been finalised. Given the international health situation due to the Covid-19 virus, this year the judging of the 15th World Cup for Clubs 2020 will be on-line, in order to safeguard the health of our judges.
