The contest page still say "PDL or LGPL". If they already received some 
entries licensed as PDL or LGPL, those can be released as PD *only* with 
the author permission.

Nothing can stop you to create one image and submit it as LGPL to OOo 
and as PD to OCAL, so you can go for their money, someone will have to 
win in the end and I think you can win and deserve it.
