Actually, this is covered in the FAQ:
http://www.irtc.org/stills/faq.html#q1.1.9
[1.1.9] Can I use a scan-line renderer instead of a ray tracer? How
about one that uses some other rendering technique?
Yes, all algorithms are welcome. The quality should be equivalent to
modern ray tracers, though, or your image will compare badly with the
other entries. Note--we do not consider photocopying or paint programs
to be "renderers". The image should be generated by a computer,
algorithmically.
