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.
