For future entries, I suggest making the entries private and making an OPTIONAL entry thread so that people may share their pictures if they choose. This would decrease the amount of copy cats and competition within a particular subject.

I really love the game and I enjoyed this contest, but its really disheartening with how a lot of the decision making was done, and I really hope that Square Enix can continue to offer us amazing contests and rewards in the future, but for it to be enjoyable some serious changes really need to be made. I want to reiterate that this isn't the plea of a sore loser, but the plea of someone who wants to enjoy the community services that Square Enix gives us.
