My own personal opinion is similar to yours. The IRTC is hosted on the PovRay
server so it seems natural that it should be for PovRay rendered images. But the
IRTC has historically permitted scanline rendered images to be submitted and it
reaches a wide audience. So we have two contests now. The TINA CHeP which was
born on these newsgroups is really only known here. So I propose that the IRTC
should be open to all computer art and with St's agreement and permission TINA
CHeP is a PovRay only challenge.
