There are many sites/forums about all subjects of "real" photography (i.e. with DSLRs) on the interwebz, they'd be a better place for such a competition, imo.

Live and let live, how hard can it be ?

I'd join a photography comp with a similar feeling to what we have here but I don't think esato is the right place to host it.

Does anyone here have any recommendations on friendly just-for-fun photo competitions elsewhere outside esato?

I think most people here are in agreeance.

Tablets - yes
Accessories (ranging from 'clip-on' to 'sensor + lens') - no

I think there should be a line drawn somewhere on the in-camera effects too. The software effects that are applied before actual photo capture e.g. on Xperia Z there are a number of filters that aren't standard, things like kaleidoscope, sketch, Harris shutter. I felt a little guilty using these in one or two recent entries. Not guilty enough to not post the pics as they are within the current rules, but guilty enough to question myself and the nature of the competition.



i agree with you...
the accessories like QX Smart Lens that send the photo via NFC (CMIIW) should not allowed, IMO...
it's like taking a photo from 'non-phone' Digital Camera and then send it to your phone via bluetooth

but what about the clip-on lens accessories that has no sensor at all like this?

I don't mind sensorles lenses. It would be nice if they are mentioned when used. It would be nice anyway to tell how a photo was made. Like did you use a stand or artificial light.

That wouldn't be much different than just shooting through the bottom of a clear glass or through a fish tank which distorts the image. So therefore its still the phone capturing the image, just shooting through something else.
