Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique, or FIAP, is an international organisation of national associations of photography.
Back in 2016 I entered images into a couple of Salon recognised by FIAP and managed to achieve acceptances for Looking Sheepish and Farrier at work. I didn’t then enter any more FIAP Salons, as I was concentration on the BPE route, until it was suggested I enter the Austrian Trierenberg Circuit in 2019. This is effectively 4 Salons in one and all your images are entered into all four salons in one go. I entered in 2019, 2021 and 2022 achieving a total of 63 acceptances.
FIAP award photographers for achieving a number of acceptances, however they have other stipulations that the accepted images for each level of award must also be gained with a number of unique images, from a a variety of salons in various different countries. To progress further you are also required to have images that gain awards in different Salons. Images that gain awards are automatically accepted into the exhibitions.
In July 2023 it was confirmed that my application for AFIAP had been accepted. It is the first level that required me to achieve 40 acceptances with 15 unique images at a minimum of 15 Salons in at least 8 countries.
Then in June 2024 it was confirmed that my application for the EFIAP level had also been accepted. This required me to achieve 250 acceptances with at least 50 unique images in at least 30 Salons in at least 20 countries. It also required 2 awards with different images and 12 images to be from Print Salons.
The next target is EFIAP/b which is the Bronze award and will be detailed on a new page as I work towards the different levels that require a whole new set of acceptances and awards.
