Just catching up on mail, so missed this.

FYI, I've run a photo competition for the NZ Alpine Club for the last
couple of years. Some aspects may not be generally applicable - it's aimed
primarily at NZAC members not the general public.

http://alpineclub.org.nz/photocomp/2010

It's currently on Drupal 5, in the process of being upgraded to D6.

It uses Image module with additional CCK fields for Creator, and three
taxonomies: competition year, competition theme (Alpine Nature, Alpine
Activity) and award. Output is via Views, with some customisation to allow
filtering via arguments (i.e. show images in a specific competition by
award or theme). Nice slideshow via Piclens/CoolIris.

Drop me a line if you want more info.

Regards
Jonathan
