Does this mean that the submissions won't be published in any form right
now?  I suppose those who put work into getting pictures submitted would
appreciate if there's some kind of 'display' of the submissions.  

What does not seem a good idea to me is simply leaving it open and doing
nothing else about it.  It's not very probable that enough submissions
stray in within a few month and as mentioned previously the submitted
material gets outdated.  

On the other hand if you close it now and show the submitted pictures in
some form, this could raise interest and including the pictures on an
IRTC-CD could be a good idea.  Alternatively i could also think of opening
a 'second round' some time later.  

Publishing the pictures now does not necessarily mean making all pictures
available on a website, making a 'picture of the day' site with one new
picture every day could be an interesting concept IMO.
