In a few months, I managed to win the first titles to come from the Global Photographic Union. The titles you can win are based on an overall performance – “Crown”, for individual staff who have won only gold medals – “VIP” and the titles you win after the approval of a portfolio sent to a 5 member commission.
I won:
- CROWN 1 and CROWN 2
- VIP 1 and VIP 2
- Aphrodite
GPU system for CROWNs is based on points that the photographers collect from acceptances, mentions and awards in International exhibitions of any patronage and year.
- GPU Crown 1: 200 pts.
- GPU Crown 2: 600 pts.
- GPU Crown 3: 2500 pts.
- GPU Crown 4: 6000 pts.
- GPU Crown 5: 15000 pts.
GPU system for VIPs (Very Important Photos) is based on PHOTOS awarded as TOP PRIZE. Unlike the system for CROWNs, the procedure for VIP distinctions does not attribute a score automatically. An evaluation of the prizes submitted by a special committee will be provided.
- GPU VIP 1: 5 DIFFERENT top prize photos
- GPU VIP 2: 10 DIFFERENT top prize photos
- GPU VIP 3: 20 DIFFERENT top prize photos
- GPU VIP 4: 30 DIFFERENT top prize photos
- GPU VIP 5: 50 DIFFERENT top prize photos
A different system of GPU TITLES based on stunning photo collections is:
- Aphrodite: 2 photos from 5 different categories (out of 10 categories)
- Hermes: 5 photos from 5 different categories (out of 10 categories)
- Zeus: 10 photos from 5 different categories (out of 10 categories)
- GPU Grand Master (top GPU Title): 50 photos, portfolio, artwork Storytelling.
