If they did it as a contest with restrictions -- no smut or writing based on a certain scene -- it would easily fit into their whole "coloring within the lines" without pissing of JK Rowling.
...you know, although I'd hate such a thing on principle and refuse to participate (to answer your question - no, because it's FanLib), I think the temptation to find loopholes would be hard to resist. You know, try to find the most non-mainstream, objectionable and downright squicky thing you can possibly write that's not forbidden by the guidelines. (Of course, they'll probably write something like "no obscene or vulgar material", which is so vague as to be able to apply to anything. Although I think you might have a case for a sweet, cute and fluffy incest fic...). It probably wouldn't help things, but... they want coloring within the lines? We'll show them what we can do within those lines. :D
