Article 2 ‒ Eligibility conditions

Grant applications concern:
a) organising a photographic exhibition (authors' salon) involving at least five authors from one member club, or jointly organised by authors from different member clubs;

b) organising a photographic event of national or international scope.

Any project for which a grant is requested must be held under the
auspices or patronage of FLPA. Any applicant entity therefore agrees
that the data submitted to the FLPA treasurer will be passed on to the
relevant FLPA department.

Article 3 ‒ Award arrangements

• For organising an event referred to in 2.a), a lump sum of €150 will be granted.
• For organising an event referred to in 2.b), a grant may be awarded if a budget deficit is shown by a detailed statement of income and expenditure after the event has closed. This grant will be approximately half of the deficit recorded and may not exceed €1,000.
  
  On pain of nullity, the detailed statement must reach the treasurer no later than 2 months after the close of the event.

• The application must be submitted by the club to the federation's treasurer. It will be placed on the agenda of a meeting of the FLPA Board of Directors.
• The application must include:

a precise description of the project (exhibition or event);

the detailed provisional budget (for an event referred to in 2.b);

the list of photographers involved;

the planned date of the event.

Article 5 ‒ Submission deadlines

• For organising events referred to in 2.a) and b), the application must be submitted at least 4 months before the planned date of the event.
• For organising an event referred to in 2.b), in addition to the above application, a detailed statement of income and expenditure must be submitted to the FLPA treasurer no later than 2 months after the close of the event.
• Each club may submit only one grant application per year for each event referred to in 2.a) and b).

Article 6 ‒ Processing of applications

• The FLPA Board of Directors examines and approves applications according to whether they meet the set criteria.
• The decision is communicated within a reasonable period after receipt of the application.

Article 7 ‒ Miscellaneous provisions

• Any change to the project must be the subject of a new application to FLPA via the treasurer. Any change may, where applicable, invalidate a decision previously taken by the FLPA Board of Directors.

• Any irregularity found in a detailed statement of income and expenditure submitted after the event has closed may invalidate any decision or grant previously awarded by the FLPA Board of Directors, which may, where applicable, request repayment of the grant.

• The beneficiary must state in its communication materials that the event is supported by the federation (with FLPA patronage or under its auspices).
