Competition itself is out of the question, but making "out of competition"
entries, as in movies festivals, is a good idea to me (after all, it's all
about making good POV-Ray images). It's pretty much undecided yet, but I'll
keep this in mind.

Both section 3(b)(i) and (ii) of the rules and paragraph 3 of the 'terms
and conditions of registration' make it quite clear that he will not be.

I'm surprised that anyone even brought this matter up given how clearly it
is stated.

I assumed as much, but text posts cause difficulty when trying to ascertain
the humor of the poster.

Agreed.

I really think that I'm going to enter.  I don't know if my image will
showcase all of the features of POV-Ray, but I have some ideas that I've
wanted to do for a long time.  I'm still trying to decide which one to do.
Additionally, my ideas are fairly general, so I'll have to get more
specific, and actually add a "soul" to whatever I create, rather than simply
having a pointless image of something mundane.  In other words, create art.

Worst case, I spend a lot of time creating a scene that I've wanted to
create for a long time anyway.  :-)
