We have heard a lot of talk about the almost exponential growth in the number of salons out there. The following is taken from the August issue of FIAP News (see above to download the complete copy):
The Figures From 2019 Since 2016 patronage applications have been lodged exclusively via the www.myfiap.net platform. In this way, the whole approval process, for both the Operational Members and the FIAP Patronage Service, has become “paperless”.
On this platform, all those that need to perform procedural actions on FIAP matters have access to all regulations related to FIAP patronage and auspices, and to the official approval documents. Salon organisers can also obtain the FIAP Salon Files to be completed, to provide the useful results and data from the salons. An archive list of past salons is also available.
The approved salons lists can be filtered by choosing the different elements of an event or by downloading the chronological or monthly lists in pdf format. In 2019, a total of 572 FIAP patronage numbers were issued but 9 salons were cancelled. So we had 563 salons run. Of these, 274 were single salons and 80 were circuits, involving 3, 4 or 5 salons each, accounting for the other 289 salons (see charts). A certain popularity of salon circuits is undeniable. Their number today is nearly 5 times higher than 7 years ago. In 2019 around 10% of salons had print sections and 2% were audio-visual. In the last seven years the number of salons offering print sections has halved and it goes without saying that projected image salons are continuously on the rise.
Compared to 2018, the figures are slightly lower. This is not due to the fact that the number of applications is dropping but it is related to the deployment of enforcing measures concerning the respect of FIAP patronage regulations.
For 2020, the unexpected emergence of Covid-19 resulted in a number of salon organisers choosing to reschedule or cancel their event. The temporary lift of the online judging ban until the end of the year, allowed many organisers to successfully complete their salons. An optimistic evaluation of the 2020 figures makes us expect to see approximatively 500 salons run this year.

High Impact Mono Conversion |
Perusing the photographic pages of YouTube I came across a really good tutorial by Ross McKelvey on creating high impact mono conversions. He has given permission for me to pass on this link which members might also find useful.
