one submition to a recent comp was a colour photocopy of a page out of a magazine - the image was a copy of someone elses photo. Stretching things a bit I might accept this as 'art', but a candidate for a photographic exhibition seems drawing a very long bow.
This isn't new. Richard Prince's most famous work is a photograph of a Marlboro ad, and Moriyama Daido often photographed newspaper photographs and printed and published them. Both of these photographers (although I think Prince is now known for non-photographic work) were doing this at least twenty years ago.
