If you printed the whole 100% image full size it would end up as a pretty huge poster. But seen from a normal viewing distance it would look fine.
If you look at posters on hoardings or railway stations close up all you see is lots of dots. Viewing 100% is like trying to view the grain on a film slide or negative; that wouldn't look too good either!
Your full size image looks just fine. I can even see the tulips are about to come out!

Most good photo comps have their T&C checked over by the RPS.
AP used to make a big song and dance about unfair competition T&C's at one time.

But it seems the entries go to Facebook, not PPG.
I cannot view the T&C as I'm not a Facebooker or whatever the users might be called!

I'd go along with that. Then the chap who's been handed the Canon 5d instead can risk making a fool of himself when they have to ask you for your informal shots as the Canon ones were NBG.My advice would be not to do it, offer to document the day informally which will give you greater freedom and allow you to concentrate on being creative.

Ah well.
If one is supplied with a super £850 camera as a prize then there is some justification in claiming rights to use the photograph without further payment. Passing copyright over is another mater though. If Jo Bloggs enters his shot and it gets nowhere but that gets used by said company, then it looks to be verging on theft, with the company hiding behind its T&C as a get out.
Surprised Pentax wish to put their name to it and get involved. I'm sure there are better ways they can seek publicity.

I cannot see any Term and Conditions? Do you have to sign up to facebook for that? If so I'll pass.
Why should a competition like that require one to sign up to a third party website that is nothing to do with either the Cairngorms or Ricoh Pentax?

Just for info, Photomatix can load in RAW images so no need to convert to JPEG first. It can then save images as 16 bit TIFFs (as well as 8 bit TIFFs and jpeg.)... Shoot in RAW, then convert to JPEG before uploading the images to a HDR processing program like Photomatix. ....
