The slide shoot contest is also on trust. What is from stopping a film contestant in swapping out his/her roll of slide film for one he/she brought along? For that matter, I shoot some class slides in my own time in my own way, come along to GFM, enter the contest, wander around all day Saturday enjoying myself, then simply enter 3 nice slides on the Sunday that I have in my pocket. Just better make sure that any close-ups of plants grow plentifully in NC! The point is, it's an honour system through and through. What gain from cheating?
