COLOUR – F.I.A.P. Definition
Any photograph that is not monochrome. It includes a monochrome photograph that has been partially toned or had colour added.

MONOCHROME – F.I.A.P Definiton
A black and white work fitting from the very dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with the 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. On the other hand a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the addition of one colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category.

PHOTOJOURNALISM
Story telling photographs such as are seen in the news, media and periodicals, which may include documentary, contemporary life, illustrative, spot news or human interest. In the interest of credibility, contrived situations or photographic manipulation that alter the truth are not acceptable. The story telling value of the photograph shall be weighed more than the pictorial quality.
