Maybe contests should ask themselves if they need to change. Handing out prices for creations at the event.

It is now like you had contests for nail smiths, and suddenly you could buy the nicest nails at home depot.

Edit: Also you wouldn't hand out prices for a reprint of an oil painting.

It's more like having a contest that issues a prize to the person that hired the best artist to create a work. I guess it's as valid as any other arbitrary competition; we issue prizes to the owner of the fastest horse in a race regardless of who rides it.

The contest sponsor sells cameras. So... maybe the whole business needs to change, if reality is obsolete.
