While I agree in some respect to that, I think the initial intent of these was to make a level playing field for everyone and have people go out in shoot. If you open it up to archival (which is basically what it's become now) then the people who've been shooting for 30 years have a distinct advantage in every contest as their catalog is much broader than one of someone who's only had a camera for 6 months and has tons of talent but not much time to shoot.
