Yep, that's what I fear might happen. The approach we took in the last
contest - have a small group of people decide about the final splash
amongst their favorites - is the best one, IMO

During the last contest, the amount of entries was overwhelming - and a
considerable number of really bad ones was included, too (e.g. just
slapping a photo into the splash template).
This was the reason why we decided to raise the bar this time and have
the contributors provide a tutorial with the image. The author of the
winning one did so as well:

There's a bit more to it than what's revealed on the first look.
