The original rules of the photo comp were:
"4) All submitted photos must be member's own work, or be a photo with yourself in the photo."

I think what I'd feel is that timers were fine, if another person held the camera, rather than using a tripod that would be fine too. If someone else turned up, set up the camera and a bunch of lights for you (so you submitted a model shot done by a pro or advanced amateur) then that would feel pretty unsporting for this month's comp.

I wasn't sure if this would be a very busy, inclusive theme, or if everyone would run from it. Looks like people are getting stuck in, which is cool!
