Because the parent company is trying to use it as a screening tool to prevent "amateurs" from applying. Kinda like how "Arizona Highways" refused digital submissions in the early 2000s unless they were over 24 megapixels... and there really weren't any 24MP cameras around in 2005! Read: "We don't know what to do with a digital workflow so we'll set the bar to be impossible to clear."
I guess Bob Krist who worked for National Geographic wouldn't be eligible. He preferred APS-C cameras due to their lighter weight. Jason, I think you and Rick interviewed him years ago. https://bobkrist.com/
Ugh, people who don't know about photography trying to sound like they know about photography. I've heard wedding photographers say they've had potential clients stipulating what type of cameras they deem acceptable because wedding magazines publish articles giving them these instructions 😩
Honestly, I've used my Fujifilm X-T2 (APS-C) to photograph artefacts for major exhibitions where the photos were used on huge exhibition banners and information panels, and nobody complained about image size or quality.
Okay wild ass guess but maybe the requirements were written by AI. Like you I am not sure why the smaller frame is inadequate

Im gonna guess that you could could show up with a kodak box brownie and tell them its full frame and they would not know any different.

Bob is a great guy. He does more video now, which is partly why he went over to Sony years ago.

Roger that. Deleting all portraits taken when my D300 for the past 15 years because they’re not good enough.
I'm surprised they didn't mention lenses . . . I mean a camera only gets you so far.
I made a point of adding that, too!
