Eh? Both.People who organize competitions.Who cares about "fair".
People who organize them are only interested in the amount of work it takes. People who enter them care about 'fair'.
If you do steroids, for example, the NBA / NFL / Olympics Committee / etc. are the ones who ban you from competing, not other players. It's in the interest of everybody (except people who are currently cheating) involved in any competition to have everyone on an equal footing. Otherwise the results are meaningless and the organizers suffer the embarrassment of having botched their job.
I assume she is allowing point and shoots, etc., since it is a high school, and they don't have the money to provide standard cameras. As a result, they can't assume everybody owns any particular kind, so her hands are sort of tied in allowing various cameras.
Photoshop, however, is unnecessary and thus something that it makes perfect sense to not want anybody to have access to. Except perhaps for edits minor enough that you could do them in free and well known programs like MS Paint.
