I didn't see the entries. I'll have to check it out. I think I got distracted by the prize amount.

I'll pass on the Gary Fong gear,

and more importantly.... If I tried taking a picture of myself I'd break my camera. In fact I already did.... I took a family portrait a couple of months ago and it had some fat old fart in it that I didn't recognize.

I won't enter the contest as I am simply not very good at the whole photo thing, but it was nice of you to put up the information for all to see.

...but I'm not going to enter.

The first thing I think of is drunk people holding their iPhones at arm's length and XBox Gens voting for the hot college chicks. That indeed may not be the reality of this contest, but I'll pass anyway.
