Enter Ozone Zone's Gala Fifth Anniversary Edition

The Ozone Zone International Photo Competition (OZIPS), initially originating in Canada, is run this year, once again, from Dominica as the host country. The jury of acclaimed local and foreign artists and photographers will select the winners from many international submissions.

OZIPS is one of most popular international photo competitions due to significant cash awards, very low entry fees, and high number of acceptances. Winning this Salon can help accelerate your photography career, and accepted images receive international exposure.

This is Salon's 5th Anniversary edition, with massive 216 awards and medals, and patronage of many top international photo organizations. Such patronage means that authors can receive prestigious international distinctions from PSA, RPS, IUP, GPU, MOL, and other organizations.

“We had a really hard task last year to select best images, and we had some beautiful winning works. We are always excited to see such remarkable works entered to our Salon.” - says Derek Galon, MA, FRPS, FOPS – head of the jury, and Canadian art photographer now living in Dominica. “This year, due to extra patronage and many more awards, we expect many more fine entries.”



Thanks to all for making your voices heard!

House Overwhelmingly Passes Bipartisan Legislation on Selection Process for Copyright Register

Washington, D.C. — The House of Representatives today approved by a vote of 378-48 the Register of Copyrights Selection and Accountability Act (H.R. 1695).  This bipartisan bill – introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) — makes important changes to the selection process for the head of the U.S. Copyright Office, known as the Register of Copyrights. ~ House Judiciary Committee press release, April 27, 2018

Pay attention, though. H.R. 1695 now moves to the Senate!

Stay tuned for more alerts as H.R. 1695 moves to the Senate. Be forewarned that it only takes one Senator to put a hold on the bill, so your continued support will be essential to protect our basic rights.
