I think any set of categories where each entrant is forced to put theirs into one category stinks. ['Scuse my html.] If my bushman-viking-fractal monster battle takes place in a grand, breathtaking cathedral, why can't I also be in the Architecture category? The arguments already starting below increase my confidence that I'm right.

I like the idea of an index. Hopefully, there will be 2x-5x the number of entries in the IRTC, and thus it may take me weeks to see them all. One morning, I could tell the index, "Let's see the entries by the 10 oldest people," next day, "Let's look at a handful which are photorealistic-cartoony in style and construction." Next day, "Let's see some by people in the Southern Hemisphere." Then, "Let's see a few Architecture and a few Fractal images." [Hopefully, my space battle scene could be seen by either search!] Then, "Let's look at some sPatch-derived art."

OKAY, drop the idea of a contest. If my idea of multiple indices doesn't get implemented, then I especially don't want the front page to be dominated by the WINNERS, just like the IRTC, anyway. I was hoping for some kind of rating system to be one of about seven different indexing categories. Hey instead, how about some kind of "mailto:" feature where we can compliment the user/ ask for code?

How about Nature? This would include all of the above.

I think you missed Religion and Miscelaneous.
I take it you based this idea on the IRTC. I think that this is the best way to
subdivide the site. Chronologically (the month and year of the image's
creation), Alphabetically (the title of each image), by Artist (the last and
first name of the artist), and by Category (the aforementioned categories). I
don't think a separation by country is necessary, as in the site I take this
idea from: http://www.raph.com/3dartists/3dp.html
