The use of filters (or non-Photoshop equivalent) is strictly limited.
Is this referring to photo filters on the camera too (polarizer, graduated neutral densities, etc.)? Or just digital filtering?

| I'm pretty sure it's referring to post processing. |

Pretty sure yes, that it is just referring to editing software. Generally, anything done in camera is ok (or ON camera, hehe)

Any filter used at time of picture taking is legal. If one has a camera; and it has b/w, sepia, negative filters it is also legal.

Absolutely anythign you can do in or on camera is legal in all challenges. The rules apply to processing of the digital file, not the capturing of the image. I'm referring, of course, to the "technical" rules; the rules governing shooting of artwork, for example, apply to the capturing of, not the processing of, the image.

That reference is only to software filters. A physical filter you attach to your camera is fine for all challenges.
As a side note, you can simulate the use of a color filter by setting a custom white balance, using a color swatch as the sample target -- I think by using the complementary color of the filter you are trying to simulate (not sure about that last part). |

You're correct. If you want the image to look like it was shot in red light, or with a red filter, color balance to a green target.

Sure you would. Especially if your end target was B/W conversion, because the skies will go black as tar :-)

So using a 3 stop graduated neutral density filter + a sunset filter + a graduated blue filter + a polarizer is legal. ;o)
I'll add that to my challenge photo specs.
