I have started to learn 3D modeling and would like to enter photo-realistic scenes in challenges. These scenes will include my photos projected on various generated surfaces (from 3D meshes). The 3D virtual camera has the settings like a real camera and it is obviously digital. The only problem is that they do not generate EXIF but another format that includes timestamp and creator details etc, see: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/render/output/metadata.html?highlight=metadata

Would this be OK for validation?

An example of 3D render with photos (not mine):

The key question here is what is the appropriate metadata? I believe the answer probably is "the metadata of the projected original photo." This really is a question for the SC/Admin team though. Good to have discussion here as well, but please do submit a "General Query" ticket with the question.

We have sent the following message to Margaret and I am copying it here so we're all on the same page:
