You are qualified to participate, if: - -You use a Leica lens on a Leica body - -You use a non-Leica lens on a Leica body - -You use a Leica lens on a non-Leica body In this way, it will not be a strictly Leica competition, but most important is that people will participate and have some fun! Anyway, I think it is a great idea. Maybe the Leica people in Solms will take up the idea on their official site some day.
