* From my own submitted shot, I can browse the other sumbissons to the current
round with "next" and "prev"; I guess this is not intended.

* I miss the possibility to edit my submission, e.g. to upload an updated shot,
fix typos in the description, add the scene file later, etc.

* The page seems to keep logging me out "now and then"; one such occasion was
when I first tried to submit my shot (filled in all the form, then clicked
"submit", and there I was back at the home screen, and not logged in anymore);
maybe this was due to my shot having been about 1 MByte in size (what's the
limit, btw?); second time I tried with a 500 kByte version and it worked.

* The "Absence" round is nowhere to be found in the archive.

* I'd really love to see the "standard raytracing competition copyright" soon;
until then, I reserve the right to revoke my submission.

* As you're using an automatically wrapping input field for image description
and such, it should be auto-wrapping in the output as well.

* How can I change my display name (or change my password, or ...)?

This is definitely not intended.  I'll fix that.

I should be able to allow you to update your submission before the 
closing date of the contest.

This is likely a session time-out issue.  I can increase the session 
timeout values.  That should help.

I'll add the latest awarded round to the past rounds list.  It makes 
sense for it to be there.

Good point.  In fact, the submission page should have a link to the 
copyright page that opens in a new browser so you can review it before 
you hit the submit button.

Noted.  I'll make sure the output wraps.

Access to your account settings isn't easily available right now.  This 
is an oversight and will be corrected soon.

Thanks again to everyone for your feedback. I'll do my best to improve 
the site before the first official contest starts.
