PSA Star Ratings
International Exhibitions
Exhibitors in international exhibitions can be proud of their achievements. Their work has been evaluated in competition with some of the best .photographers worldwide, and been included in many public showings of outstanding photographic images
PSA recognizes the consistent achievement of exhibitors by a system of Star Ratings. Stars are awarded for a combination of the number of acceptances attained and the number of “titles”, or different slides, prints, videos or electronic images accepted in exhibitions.
Seven of PSA’s divisions offer Star Rating recognition. Only acceptances in PSA-recognized exhibitions can be counted and only PSA members are eligible.
