I think any set of categories where each entrant is forced to put theirs into one
category stinks. ['Scuse my html.]    If my bushman-viking-fractal monster battle
takes place in a grand, breathtaking cathedral, why can't I also be in the
Architecture category?   The arguments already starting below increase my confidence
that I'm right.

I like the idea of an index. Hopefully, there will be 2x-5x the number of entries in
the IRTC, and thus it may take me weeks to see them all.  One morning, I could tell
the index,  "Let's see the entries by the 10 oldest people," next day, "Let's look
at a handful which are photorealistic-cartoony in style and construction."  Next
day, "Let's see some by people in the Southern Hemisphere."  Then, "Let's see a few
Architecture and a few Fractal images." [Hopefully, my space battle scene could be
seen by either search!]     Then, "Let's look at some sPatch-derived art."

OKAY, drop the idea of a contest.  If my idea of multiple indices doesn't get
implemented, then I especially don't want the front page to be dominated by the
WINNERS, just like the IRTC, anyway.  I was hoping for some kind of rating system to
be one of about seven different indexing categories.   Hey instead, how about some
kind of "mailto:" feature where we can compliment the user/ ask for code?
