IMO it might be quite a stretch. There is typically little or no blur in lightning photos, and the point of the challenge is to convey motion through a motion-blurred portion of the subject and/or background relative to the subject (i.e panning).
If, on the other hand, you have a daytime lightning photo that shows significant movement as well as the lightning, then, yes, it could fit.
Remember that the voters decide for themseles whether it fits. Photos which are shoehorned in: "see, that tree in the background is blurred from the wind!" will often score lower than their photographic merit indicates.
