Fees may be forfeited in these circumstances.
    In order to ensure that images comply with the Conditions of Entry and definitions, the exhibition may carry out checks on the images to make sure that:
    1. the images are the original work of the entrant and
    2. the images comply with the rules and definitions as set out in these Conditions of Entry.

The questioned image(s) of any entrant failing to comply with such a request for the original image(s) may be considered in breach of these Conditions of Entry, and declined. Such entries may be referred to PSA for further investigation of possible ethics violations. PSA retains the right to investigate in any way all complaints/suspicions of breaches of entry conditions, impose sanctions if deemed necessary, include the entrant's name on the list of sanctions provided to Exhibitions, and share such investigations with FIAP.
19. Entrants automatically agree to these terms by the act of entering the Exhibition.
