Not intended as an argument - just my view-
Having both judged and participated in shows that mix digital and film images, I don't see a problem. If the digital image is obviously overdone, it generally eliminates itself. If it isn't, then it competes on its merit - pretty much as traditionally manipulated images do.
I am curious as to what the PITA was<g>.
The local fair i submit to each fall started a filma nd digital division 2 years ago.

Locally most salon shows separate 'digitally manipulated' images from others. Even then, if the manipultion is not something detectable it produces a gray area for decisions.
