    It is not specified in the rules. I think you’d better contact the organizers and ask this question. Good luck Lisa!

    Can the photographer submit his work using other cameras . Are digital pictures accepted? If yes can I send a CD or do I have to make prints.

    Yes, you can use other cameras besides Leika but I think electronic sumbission is not allowed. Please check their rules.
