The QUALITY of the armor is surely a consideration, but don't count yourself out. The composition and elements in the photo count for quite a bit as well.
I'd vote for a mediocre suit of armor in a ridiculous halloween shenanigan shot (crowd surfing a rave club, etc) over a phenomenal armor build anyday.
That said, I'm bringing my A game, you'd better bring yours as well.
Achille said:Only problem I can see is people in groups shots not being able to divide tangible prizes. Perhaps group shots are something where there is only one contestant in Halo armour, and the others must not be eligible for the prize? (i.e. Are dressed as pirates, or ninjas, or something.

It's like not rewarding the people who work really freaking hard, you know? I got booted out of the first round of a halloween costume contest with my grunt, and you know who by? Some dude in a Borat costume (he had the hair and one of those weird thong swimsuit things). Why? Because he was Borat. Yeah. It was LAME. The other people I was up against also made it to the next round, which was a group costume made of a layer of cardboard and some tin foil. They were a tool set. Wooooo freaking awesome. A tool set made in five minutes.
Jealous? Perhaps. But rightly so, in my opinion. Hard work doesn't get rewarded often enough.

Well, the awesome suit of armor you made is your reward. This is a contest about context, and the quality of the costume itself is not the end-all be-all of what is being judged. That said, I'm sure it weighs into the opinion. But like someone pointed out earlier, just a picture of an extraordinarily well-made suit of armor just turns into a constest for the most seasoned prop-makers on here and entirely not what this 'contest' is supposed to be about. It's more about the elements involved, of which the cosumte itself is merely one.
Just my 2 cents. Hell, I'll be climbing in Joshua Tree on Halloween, so I can't play anyways.
