Is the deadline still today for uploading images and entering the contest?

Is anyone, either than me, going to admitedly miss it?

I might miss it, unless I can get my old POV files into this new computer
*and* render all the files I want to submit on time, which I probably won't
be able to do... :( Please extend the deadline Greg! I've been trying and
trying but between the rain and needing the phones, my Internet connection
has been bad on both computers and I haven't had time bring my old stuff
back... :(

    Augh! I forgot about it! I only rendered three images and then got
distracted by my asteroid macro. Maybe we can get an extension?

I forgot it as well...

  Also I vote for an extension. Just a couple of days is enough for me.

Just started uploading right now (just in case).
  The CGI script insists that my experience level is "novice", no matter what
I choose in the drop-menu. Well, if it thinks that, I don't mind. I'll be
a novice.
  (I wonder if this is happening to anyone else or does it hate just me?)

Note to everyone: The "experience" question will either be dropped or will be
handled by email survey afterwards. Don't worry about what you see on the
screen in relation to your answer to the question.

The darkest secret of this whole affair is that only 27 have uploaded so far.
The mechanism on what to do with the entries depends on the numbers.  If
there's say 1500 pretty good ones, it's  a simple data dump to CD.   If
there's 10x that number, there may have to be contests,  ranking by judges,
etc...  The process is intended to be automated but isn't set up exactly like
the IRTC.

Any pointers from the group on means of sending out reminders?

So the deadline is until we get either a sufficient quantity of publishable
material or enough material to clog the raytrace.com server.

There is a finite (however small) chance that we'll get 500 entrants to submit
in the next 12 hours, leaving those who haven't done so today to be included
in the CD:  "10Best: the Next Generation".  Maybe your kids will be on it too.

I really wanted to do this.  Nowhere did I find a deadline.  I also was at a
loss as to which theme my images would go under.  I have 10 images featuring
WWII aircraft.  The two closest themes were architecture and machine design.
However, architecture is primarily buildings and machine design is like a
mass produced consumer product, not a flying vehicle.  Anyone know what I
should do?  Do my pictures not count because they don't evenly fit in a
theme?

Should be 37 now.

They certainly count.  Are you "romanticizing the use" of the aircraft?  If so
consider EPIC
Are you celebrating the craftmanship of the manufacture of such a high tech
device? If so consider MACHINE DESIGN.

The upload preview page stated a deadline of 10/31/01.
http://10best.raytrace.com/10bestupload.html

Just get things in soon.  If only 27 have done so so far, the project is more
likely to be a complete bust than to have a large handful of folks gnashing
their teeth.
