The 2023 entry information requires entrants to take images themselves with a camera and excludes AI-generated images and generative additions. The creative category permits composites of entrants' own photographs, but not AI imagery.
2023 is the competition edition, not a verified initial rule-issuance date. The current page for an old edition is not a historical snapshot. Ordinary sharpening, noise reduction and limited retouching are separately allowed; this is not a ban on all software or all AI.
Editorial research question
Editorial interpretation: a photography competition distinguishes freedom in digital compositing from generative AI through requirements on source material; even the creative category retains the entrant's own photography requirement.
This is an editorial interpretation or question, separate from factual statements.
