The prompts are there to get people writing - you can choose any or all and either include them or use them as a jumping off point for your writing.
The main criteria for this competition is that entries have a story arc. You may want to think about whether your story meets that criteria and whether you want to submit another entry to the writing prize.
You have plenty of time to think about it :)
