Right!  We want the full range of folks to enter.  I think that's the
whole reason for many of us being eager to help with scanning and other
potentially "costly" tasks; level the playfield a bit.  My worry is more
that some contestants might get too caught up in their k00L digital toy
when they could get better results with that old SLR gathering dust in the
closet.  (Disclaimer: I am guilty of this at the moment.)

Summary: Send the sharpest pictures possible, whatever format that be.
