World Press Photo Contest Adds New Rules to Help Fight Altered Entries

An interesting find by Photo District News about the World Press Photo Contest, which just yesterday opened up their mailbox for entries for the 2010 edition. The organization has set new rules in place demanding that any photo entered must not be altered in any way, with retouching only acceptable when doing so “conforms to currently accepted standards in the industry.” Furthermore, they’ve stated that they can request original copies, straight out of the camera, if there any questions of authenticity arise when judging an image.
