@darkblue-x; even if the contest was only about resolution and technical expertise, there is still the question of lens effect. Any contest that is so narrowly-defined as to discount mid-range sensors has more problems than one of mere judgement.
IMO, contests and photography in general are subjective enough that almost anything could win, especially given the current state of art education and appreciation.
No, this site has proven many times over that it's not about the size of one's sensor, but how you use it. Outstanding images can be created using nearly any device, as long as the photographer has a vision and is able to capture his concept on film/sensor. Conversely, we see more than a few shots that are "technically correct", but lacking said vision, are nothing special.
I say if you can press the shutter button, you have every right to post on here just as everybody else. So what if you don't win? Most don't win, yet they keep on posting.
