Yes, I would like to add a rule that says something along the lines of no
entries that have been entered in previous contests.  I think it would be
reasonable to allow the same aquarium to be entered in subsequent years if
the pictures are new, i.e. from this year.  Just trying to find a good way
to say this.

Karen has suggestedw this as well.  I think it's a good idea too!
