Interesting article posted on PetaPixel about a staged picture, submitted as a documentary image, that wins a top prize in international photo contest. |

Aww, that is disturbing. A great photo BUT if it was presented as a "real" scene that is just wrong.
Thanks Helen.

It does seem wrong if the prize was awarded on the basis of misinformation, regardless of how good the photo is. Maybe the prizemoney should go to the charity instead if it was deemed unfair.

The CEWE website indicates this photo won in the people category. Not sure what the entry requirements were but submitting a staged photo seems dishonest.
