I thought I read somewhere that Skins based off of O/S concepts were not going to be accepted? Or was that statement retracted?

I don't want to be rude, but what you have done is pretty easy to achieve for many skinners, that's why you see there aren't many released skins from experienced skin developers, like Willz said, quality over quantity.

Well I always did think that OS skins weren't allowed, but when I went to look at the rules the rule is listed under "design-specific" which could be interpreted as design content only rule.

Regardless of the wording, using OS resources will pretty much get you no points in the graphics department. One thing I should also stress is that the functionality/usability contest isn't just about having the most options.

design elements are still taken into minor consideration since a skin regardless of what it is should flow well. The graphics don't have to be extravagant, they just have to make sense from a layout and UI point of view and also in the context of what style you pick.

Guys there a reason we gave people over a month for the contest.:P
