  What do you mean exactly?

  I admit that I personally have this kind of prejudice. When I see an IRTC
entry that looks great I look if it's made with povray. If it isn't, my
interest for that image ends there. The image is nice, but I'm not interested
in it because it is (probably) made with a very expensive tool with lots of
features that you can use just by clicking on a couple of buttons. However,
if the image is made with povray and it looks marvelous (for example, look
at the images at http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/jaimevives/index.htm), I
admire it a lot.
  I have never voted and probably never will. I don't think that I can be
an unprejudiced judge.

  I have seen a lot of bad judging and I don't want to be one of them.
For example, giving 20 points in originality/concept of the theme to an
image with some rocks and a river (topic 'water') is not good judging in
my opinion.
