RULES for G.P.U. VIPs (Very Important Photos)

The GPU system for VIPs (Very Important Photos) is based on photos awarded as TOP PRIZE.

Unlike the system for CROWNs, the procedure for VIP Distinctions does not attribute a score automatically. An evaluation of the award will be determined by a special GPU committee.

GPU VIP 1: 5 DIFFERENT top prize photos
GPU VIP 2: 10 DIFFERENT top prize photos
GPU VIP 3: 20 DIFFERENT top prize photos
GPU VIP 4: 30 DIFFERENT top prize photos
GPU VIP 5: 50 DIFFERENT top prize photos

 

DEFINITION OF “Top Prize Photo” "우수상 사진"의 정의

The awards eligible for VIPs are the 1st Prize, Gold medals or Best Work of Salon in International competitions of any patronage and year. If a Photo Salon is divided into different categories, the first prize for each category is eligible as well. Neither special prizes nor a judge’s choices are valid.

It is also possible to submit a photo awarded at the top worldwide renowned exhibitions (i.e., World Press Photo, BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, SONY Awards, Travel Photographer of the Year, IPA Contest, etc.), when it was not a first prize. In this case, GPU will decide at its own discretion about the eligibility for VIPs.

VIP가 받을 수 있는 상은 모든 후원 및 연도의 국제 대회에서 1등, 금메달 또는 Best Work of Salon입니다. 

포토살롱이 여러 카테고리로 나뉘어져 있는 경우 각 카테고리의 1등도 자격이 있습니다.
