      FTP:  ftp://ftp.irtc.org/pub/anims/2000-10-15/

Note the mirror sites listed above.  The extra WWW URLs listed above are
only for file access; web viewing and voting still starts on www.irtc.org as
always.

There were 24 entries accepted for voting.  If you prefer to download large
bundles, they are available in the directory named "zipped-up", under the name
"animations-*.zip" for the animations, all-posters.zip for the movie posters,
and "all-text.zip" for the text.

This round's voting interval is 14 days; votes will be accepted from
16 October through 30 October 2000.  Winners will be announced 31 October 2000.

The October-January animation round of the IRTC is now open.  The topic
for this round is "Pursuit/Escape".  You may begin submitting for
this round immediately; entries will be accepted through
15 January 2000.

Also note that we have removed the "no progressive JPEGs" rule for "movie
posters".  In future rounds, your poster images can be any legal JPEG JFIF
file, although for maximum compatibilty, you should probably steer clear of
the "progressive" option if you can.
