There is a nice set of guidelines at 
http://www.digitalcustom.com/howto/mediaguidelines.htm

Although they assume "digital," they would equally apply to other media.
They boil down to: Journalistic, editorial, or nature photographs mustn't 
lie by commission or omission. Commercial, artistic, or personal 
photographs are excluded.

Would Man Ray's creations go afoul? No, they are artistic. As for 
competitions, it would be hard to make rules these days. Some outlandish 
creations may be very photographically based, while seeming photographs 
could be painted. 
Perhaps a rule to require the raw photograph(s) to be submitted as well? 
Or, an all-non-digital category and an open category, based on trust?

I wrote a speech once on how we were losing our history, to media changes, 
to touch-ups, and to lies.

even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, 
awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself -- 
Henry Miller, 1891-1980
