I think this is a very important point, I don't now whether this was overlooked, but this does restrict
entries, because of this size limit.

I think something like a DeviantArt group (if they exist? Inkscape used them for their splash screen
contests) should be set up alongside the Flickr group, so we don't lose the ability to quickly mark a photo
on flickr as suitable, but also don't lower the barrier of entry.
