The idea of "existing artwork" in our rules is that YOU shot it yourself, and then under certain conditions it becomes usable, basically as long as it clearly IS exiting artwork.
So I can include in my composition a poster of Richard Avedon's great image of Katherine Hepburn hanging prominently on the wall, for example. But there's NO allowance in our rules for taking somebody else's jpg off the internet and using it to compose your entry. If THAT were allowed in the "existing artwork" rule, we could all be entering Avedon's work :-)
