*The club now accepts the FIAP(2003), PAGB(2004) and CACC(2004) definition of monochrome:
A black and white work going from the very dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with the various shades of grey.  A black and white work toned entirely in a single colour will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white (monochrome) category.
On the other hand a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the addition of
one colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category.
