Most of all I like the tiling and 3D fractals topics.
Would you only allow POV-Ray images?

I agree. There may be even some debate on whether some forms are 3D or not :-)
It's a question of definition, but IMHO the only "true" 3D fractals POV allows 
are the built in Julia-set primitive and all kinds of Menger sponges, etc.

Of course you could call e.g. Mandelbrot sets used as hight-fields, Wada, all 
kinds of strange attractors "3D" too...
Not limiting the competition to POV-Ray could yield some even more interesting 
fractals...
