Thanks, all. Congrats, Winners! :)
As always, it's "different strokes for different folks". Times change things, though.

ATTENTION ENTRANTS: Seemingly, there is a problem with autogenerated messages related to disqualifications: some DQ'd entrants didn't receive those. So PLEASE observe all the rules to avoid being DQ'd - when you discover that your entry is missing from the Challenge, it may be too late to replace it!
At this moment, it took 48 attempts to reach 27 acceptable entries; please be careful instead of quick, you don't want to upload more than once.
