Hi Tom, In our local branch of Biofoto (mother-organisation at: http://www.biofoto.no), the competition goes in two separate classes. Projected digital images, and projected slide film images. We have a Dell XGA projector (1024x768), and a Leica Pradovit RT-s 35mm slide film projector.
Meetings take place in a large auditorium (200 seats, at least) at Oslo University. The competition has been arranged like this for almost 2 years now. To begin with, all the projected images were lumped in one class. However, by consensus, this arrangement was dropped after 6 months because the digital images constantly came out on top. It was simply terribly unfair to the 35mm slide film images. Our experiences are that the lo-rez digital images look far, far better when projected than do 35mm slides. Projector brightness has a lot to do with that. A sufficiently powerful bulb in the Leica Pradovit would melt the film base. The film highlights has a granular, gritty look that none of us really gave any thought before digital. Even from high resolution films like Velvia, Provia or E100VS, which still are the dominating emulsions.
