I’m sorry but I really dont believe that unique content will get you in. I’ve also applied as an editor for my city… and of course the application dissapeared in the void. So I applied for the town next to mine… and that dissapeared..
3 years ago i applied at least a dozen times for noncompetitive categories that had no editors, using different names and everything. Nothing.
The only editors there now are those who got in early and have a momopoly on the sites that are accepted.
If you want your website in, email the editor offering a monetary compensation, your chances will improve considerably if you do so.
But DMOZ has lost its importance over the years. All of the links are outdated, and fewer search engines rely on them.
