Is it because that they are using save for web to keep the file size down and this strips it out?
So here's a question - how many members are using film & scanning?

Not many scanning now, I should think, other than for digitising previous work.
I use 'save for web' which does indeed remove the exif data. It seems to appear better on-screen than a normally compressed jpeg at the same file-size.
One of the advantages of the competitions on the sister-website Birdforum is the inclusive nature which encourages everyone to join in. I think the more ambitious suggestions you're proposing might actually put off a lot of members. Some photo magazines use a similar format and I would imagine that a large number of readers never even consider entering, just leaving it to the dedicated few.
