Nope it will work on a dull day infact my church image was taken early evening on a very cloudy day! I guess it does help if there is something in the sky i.e. clouds or a blue sky. Generally even with non HDR photography you can pick your composition/subject according to the conditions.

I think in general this is going to be an interesting challenge as HDR can be subtle to bring out more detail or maxed out so it looks unreal (as Jeff mentioned). Some people say a good HDR doesn't look like an HDR which could make the entries and voting interesting
