RE: ART EXPLOSION WEEK 60: Theme SWEET/ 20 STEEM in prizes!
I'm jumping in with a response, @juliakponsford, correct me if I'm wrong.
This contest doesn't take photography entries anymore, but digitally created art using any program and include photographic images that are worked into a piece, are absolutely welcome.
Check out last weeks winner, she included a self portrait in her entry, juxtaposing her photographic image onto the digital art field, to depict the theme shadow self.

She herself an accomplished experimental digital, visual artist and curator. Her Ocean of art, curation has a combination of traditional and digitally produced works.
Thanks for responding you are pretty spot on! I do accept photography but it's a bit more tricky to verify it was actually done for the contest, if people submit some story and process pics of the shoot with a date verification etc. I would prefer that but I kind of take it on a case by case basis :)
