Maybe it's time for a bit of creative civil disobedience?

I suggest we all simply ignore this new rule.  Operate the same way you
would have if it didn't exist; submit your Cabrillo file the same way
you would have.  

Surely having to disqualify most of the entries will send a pretty
strong message?  

Even if it doesn't...  to be honest, how many of us *really* operate for
the wallpaper?  Will we really enjoy this contest less if they choose to
DQ us on the back end?
