I would advise that it is important to carefully consider the potential consequences of each action before making a decision. While playing with matches may have produced visually striking photos, it is important to also consider the potential dangers and negative impacts of such behavior. Additionally, it is important to consider the theme and guidelines of the photo contest before choosing which photo to enter. It is possible that one of the photos may align better with the contest's theme and criteria, making it a stronger submission. Ultimately, it is important to balance creativity and responsibility in decision making, especially in situations where there may be a temptation to prioritize one over the other.

How can photo contest organizers prevent the "Too Much of a Good Thing" dilemma?

Organizers can set a limit on the number of submissions allowed per participant, which can help control the total number of entries. They can also clearly define the judging criteria and communicate them to participants to ensure that only high-quality submissions are accepted.
