I might have broken the rule the first year (because of time-constraints ... I was out of the country when it was announced and when the deadline fell). I used a russian LTM body for one of the shots. It doesn't bother me what other people choose to do, but that is what I do. So in my particular case, a book with only Leica shots would in fact compete with the LUG Yearbook, since it would be competing for my choices. That doesn't mean I don't support the idea, it is just a reflection I made when I was considering what shots I would possibly include.
