A couple of points:
Pushing POV-ray to another level sounds great, but I'm just not sure HOW a
competition would achieve this end.  Using every advanced feature in POV
just to see how much it can take is no guarantee of a breath-taking scene.

Do you have kids at school or know any teachers that might enjoy using POV?
Tell them about it or offer to give a class at a local high-school.

Now, while we're on the subject of competitions, does anybody know what's
happened to the IRTC, beyond their notice of being "ON HIATUS" ?

And as for the Linux/Windows dichotomy ;) I use both and am quite
comfortable with both command line (how I learned to program in C) and
Fully-fledged visual tools such as Visual Studio
