This setup cannot handle multiple galleries, each containing multiple 
images.

There are two broad possibilities of deploying photo galleries:

1. A "Gallery/Album" content type, with multiple image fields.
    There can be a "Gallery" for poster competition submissions, which 
will show all images in a grid. Each image can be zoomed, with a modal 
box. Similarly, there can be another "Gallery" for, say, some latest event.
    Pros: easier to maintain and create new galleries.
    Cons: Each image in a gallery will not have a dedicated URL.
    This approach is similar to Facebook's albums.

2. An "Image" content type (similar to what has been done already), 
along with a "Gallery" content type.
    Each image needs to be added at first. Then a "Gallery" can be 
created to group those images, by selecting which existing image you 
want to add to the gallery.
    Pros: Each image and each gallery can be accessed separately.
    Cons: Tougher to maintain and will take more work.
    This approach is similar to Flickr.

Which one do you want here?
