One of the most important roles that blockchain can play in copyright protection is ensuring that copyright holders are properly compensated for the use of their work. In the digital world, it is all too easy for people to copy and distribute copyrighted material without permission or compensation. But with blockchain, copyright holders can put a unique identifier on their work and then track it whenever it is used. This would allow photographers as copyright holders to receive compensation every time their work is used, whether sold, copied, or distributed. As a result, blockchain could provide a much-needed boost to the struggling copyright industry.
In addition to providing copyright holders compensation, blockchain could also help reduce copyright infringement. By making it easy to track who owns the copyright to a particular work, blockchain would make it much easier for people to obtain permission before using someone else’s work. And since copyright infringement often occurs because people are unaware they’re infringing on someone else’s copyright, this could go a long way toward reducing the problem.
Ultimately, blockchain has the potential to revolutionize copyright protection. By making it easy to track ownership and ensure compensation, blockchain could help uphold the rights of copyright holders while reducing infringement.

In an age where anyone can snap a photo and post it online, photographers are increasingly at risk of having their work stolen and used without permission. This is where blockchain comes in. By embedding digital watermarks or other identifying information into photos using blockchain technology, photographers can better protect their copyrighted images. If someone tries to steal a photo, the embedded information will help to prove that the photographer is the rightful owner. In addition, blockchain-based copyright protection systems could be used to automatically enforce copyright law, meaning photographers would no longer have to spend time and money manually enforcing their rights. As blockchain technology continues to grow, it may offer new opportunities for photographers to safeguard their work from theft.

In the age of digital technology, it has become easier than ever to copy and distribute photographs. As a result, many photographers have found it difficult to protect their copyright. However, recent advances in blockchain technology may offer a solution. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique digital artworks that can be stored on a blockchain. This makes them tamper-proof and easy to track. As a result, NFTs could certify a photograph's ownership and prevent unlawful copying. All submitted photos are required to have the Title of Ownership generated by trusted platform seed.photo. SEED is based on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) NFT marketplace.
In Open sections, entrants can enter photos with any kind of theme, for example, portrait, people, nature, wildlife, landscape, architecture, still-life photography, digital imaging, HDR photos, etc. Monochrome images may not be entered in the Open Color Section. Regardless of title, the color and monochrome versions of the same image cannot be entered in different sections of this Salon.
Monochrome:A black and white work fitting from very dark grey (black) to obvious grey (white) is a monochrome work with various shades of grey. A black-and-white work toned entirely in a single colour will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black-and-white category; such a work can be reproduced in black and white in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage. On the other hand, a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by adding one colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category; such a work requires colour reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.

Images from events or activities arranged specifically for photography or of subjects directed or hired for photography are not permitted.

It’s the perfect way to express yourself and make the most of your creative freedom. For good conceptual photography, you must come up with an original idea. Then you have to edit your results to communicate your vision. Creative or experimental photographs display a novel effect because of an unusual combination of objects and/or unusual viewpoints. Photographs in which the images have been modified during or after exposure using an experimental technique are also eligible in the Creative/Experimental sections. The photograph must always have a basic photographic image. Digital manipulation processes may be employed, providing the entrant is exposed to the original photograph, including any textures used.
Nature Definition:Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person can identify the subject material and certify its honest presentation. Human elements shall not be present except where those human elements are integral parts of the nature story, such as nature subjects, like barn owls or storks, adapted to an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in situations depicting natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. Scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals are permissible. Photographs of human-created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domestic animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement. No techniques that add, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial elements except by cropping are permitted.
