The thrown eggs and the horse are probbaly my favourites from this , and the cloud one which I'm wondering if it's IR.


Many of these images look like they have been taken 80 years ago with
crappy, antiquated equipment. Poor colours, exposure, noise etc. some
are even in black and white.
Images probably taken with the most advanced digital cameras, then
processed to make them look "old".
To make an example, the image of the Kansas storm clouds looks like some
technically failed infrared exposure.

What on earth is wrong with B&W?

There are times that color can be the correct choice, and others when it
doesn’t work for a particular subject and style. It is all up to the
photographer, and ultimately one should accept that taste in not a uniform
concept.

The proper way to get digital monochrome is to dump Bayer matrix and
thus get four times as many real pixels. Bayer and X-Tans gives you a
fake pixel count as it's based on interpolation! :-ppp

Agreed. However, the Leica is not, as usual, inexpensive. That is why I have
considered having maxmax.com convert my old X-E2 by removing the X-Trans II
filter and doing the other stuff they do to make a monochrome only camera.

Leicas are expensive but most pro grade cameras are. As you can see on
the linked page the current Leica M10 is priced like the Nikon D5 and
just slightly above the EOS 1Dx Mark II and Sony Alpha a9:

These are all professional FF cameras desighned to meet different pro needs.

The question is if these images would have won the contest if they had
not been processed to look old.

The answer to that is not simple. There is no indication of how the images
were processed other than their appearance, and your unconfirmed assumptions.
As to why each won a particular category was up to the judges, each with
their particular tastes, and biases. In any photography contest there is no
way to guarantee that the taste, and biases of the judges will match yours.
