Here's another suggestion (for next year) Why not run 3 digital categories? Point and shoot no manipulation, DSLR no manipulation, and manipulated. Each category gets 3 entries per person, their card gets downloaded and burned to CD then the CD(s) get judged. Have everybody shoot JPEG highest quality. You still will have some problems with this system. Those with Adobe 1998 color space will have an advantage over those with only sRGB and cameras that sharpen heavily may have an advantage over those that don't sharpen as much. (*ist-D at a disadvantage?) You still would have to rely on the honor system but there would be less temptation to cheat if there is a category for them.
