Congrats @lucafeelgood and @ch1no.
Great job!
These are wavefront .obj files, which are meant to be used in all 3D software packages. They won't go into your library unless you convert them to props (which would actually be unnecessary).
Go to File>Import and browse to the folder with the .obj file. I recommend setting the scale to 100%, although it really doesn't matter because you can scale it once you have it in DAZ.
If it comes in textured, you will probably have to use the !Iray Uber Base converter to convert the textures to Iray. If it does not import textured, then the materials will be set to Iray by default (depending on your version of DAZ Studio) and you will need to plug the textures into the appropriate channels in the surfaces tab, such as base, glossiness, bump, etc. Whatever the modeler supplied. If you need more info, Sickleyield provided a really good tutorial about Iray surfaces here:

Thanks, @Plebby.
I F'n hate Windows Update.
I've been rendering my entry for this comp on my laptop at work for over 24 hours. I came into work this morning expecting to see an image at nearly 5000 iterations and instead saw my "Welcome" screen. Checked the temp folder... not in there.
So I'll be starting over with the rendering process. Just wanted to make sure the contest doesn't close before I can get it done.
My second entry:
Sundown for the Sun Worshippers
I normally wouldn't do two entries but my last image is bugging me. I really feel like I phoned it in.
Some great entries for this comp! Love the theme, @aftyrbyrn.
Here is my entry:
The Morning Tree
Good luck everyone!
I go with Anagord. Although when I use a character, they very rarely "stay in their own skin". A mix of base textures is always part of the workflow.
I'm drawn to the feet. I've been working on some "sand on feet" textures for geoshells and such. In this case, is it postwork or 3D?
You make a good point, but the theme lends itself to different interpretations. AB also states in the initial announcement to render whatever comes to your mind.
