I'm a bit irritated too, but it's mostly due to the IRTC management 
rather than the entries quality. I can't stand waiting days and weeks 
for every single step in the voting process, so I decided to stop 
putting my efforts in this competition until something happens. Of 
course, I'm not personnally a big loss, but this might be true for good 
people too like Gille, Jaime and so many others ?

When the good entrants don't participate the global quality lowers, it's 
mecanical. IMHO having some basic images in the competition is not 
really the problem, they are here for the promotion of raytracing, the 
real problem is the little number of high quality images.
