You are crap anyway.... ;-)
Oh behave! I am just JOKING!
No, it is more "Must be your own work" rather than non-commercial...
I can accept that - I haven't had multiple wins like some.
I was just replying to RedOctober's suggestion of including "non-commercial" in the rule. I may have a gallery but it is only because I pay for it each month. Anybody can do that if they want to throw away the cash.
In any case the weekly contests are a lot of fun. I just wish I had more time to enter. Maybe this weekend's adventures will fit into next week's theme.

There are plenty of "commercial" photogs who could stand to sharpen their skills - not just us "hacks". And present company is excluded from that comment, of course.
That is part of what makes this long running contest great. You can get some fantastic feedback on your work.
Actually it was a certain photographer that shows in many galleries that was a major influence for opening my gallery. I looked at his work and thought "I can do that." Now I just need to figure out the marketing side of things and maybe one day actually earn some money for a change.
