The Salon is conducted under the approved rules of the Photographic Society of America (PSA): 2019/024 and under the patronage of the Federation Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP): 2019/022, the Global Photographic Union (GPU): L190011 and International Union of Photographers (IUP): 2019/001. As a result of the efficient running of previous Salons these four organisations have awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for presentation to the top entries in the exhibition. In addition we will be awarding Bristol Salon Ribbons (Honorable Mentions); we hope to present approximately 300 awards again this year. Award winners and acceptances will count towards the granting of PSA & FIAP ratings.
