I agree with the 'It should be fun bit' so if you feel the need to do some post-processing to give yourself a better chance of winning then enjoy.

Though I don't go as far as i've seen some people do on another forum, where he might take an active sky (eg: stormy or moody clouds) from one photo and merge it into another photo that had a plain old boring blue or grey sky.
His landscape shots are brilliant and as a piece of art I think they're great, but I wouldn't go that far. I still think that the art of photography actually means being there at the right place at the right time to take that magic shot.
Yeh was thinking that myself. I'll add that as part of the rules.. though it won't be enforced.
