I disagree!

If you take a look at recent winners, a lot of them were made with 
POV-Ray (simply because the IRTC is popular among POVers), some with 
other free tools (e.g. AOI) and some with professional software (e.g. Max).

Most entrants are hobbyists, not 3D professionals. They have limited or 
no access to professional tools, limited hardware and limited time. It's 
like complaining about that IRTC animations can't compete with "The 
Incredibles"...

Well, if it's so easy to win month after month, go ahead and show us!
If your images are of such "truly high quality" that they're just too 
good for the IRTC, try calling Pixar, they may be waiting for you...

If you're only iterested in what can be done with the latest software, 
huge renderfarms and a team of professionals, the IRTC is the wrong 
place to look.
