I'm not sure that I'm going to find the time this round to get an entry
together. However, judging has become something of a family activity in our
household.

Should I:

a) submit a 1x1 pixel image to qualify as a judge (and put a note in my text
file explaining the situation).

b) submit a valid, but poor quality image (with optional note in text file)

c) none of the above

b or c.  If you're only submitting to be judged, that's a violation of the
spirit of the rules, really.  b means you at least tried, while c means you
opted out for this round.  A is an attempt to circumvent the rules, and is
likely to get a lot of people pissed at you.

Definitely B. Do your best, just don't expect to win. :)

(b) if you want to be able to look at yourself in the mirror, or (c)
don't submit anything but vote anyway.  The IRTC admins will reject your
vote, but your wife and son don't have to know about it.

I like the idea that tricking the IRTC carries a greater moral cost than
tricking Lu.... What really scares me is that I probably agree. ;)

 d) make raytracing a family activity too, and submit good images.

 e) ask the IRTC admins to become a permanent judge (there is a
    petition form somewere on irtc.org).

Not my ideal - then I'd have an excuse every (bi)month not to produce an
image. I like entering the IRTC since it forces me to actually complete*
something.

* insofar as any image is complete

None of the above or below- just register as a
judge like I did, that way you can vote even if
you didn't enter.

Yeah, but ask yourself... why are you really
interested?

I'd have to say c) as it's the only one that doesn't cheapen the
competition.  As others have mentioned, petitioning to become a permanent
judge is the best solution.
