I'm just wondering, from the stated goal of this competition to "show of 
what Pov-Ray can do" I get the feeling that this might turn into a 
tech/features showcase. Not that that's a bad thing really but if that 
is the intended goal then will people who submit more minimalist scenes 
that rely more heavily on lighting, shadowing or other basic artistic 
concepts likely to get ranked lower? Often these scenes get at least an 
honorable mention in the IRTC. I ask because I have some ideas in mind, 
not that I have a snowballs chance in hell.
