The submission period for the January-February 2004 round of the Internet Ray Tracing Competition is over. The images are now available for viewing, voting, and comment at WWW: http://www.irtc.org/stills/ FTP: ftp://ftp.irtc.org/pub/stills/2004-02-29/ For the MS-Windows users among the voters, check out Bob Franke's WinVote voting assistance program. Details and downloads are available at his site, "http://www.geocities.com/bob_franke/pov/winvote.htm". The files it needs are in a subdirectory called "winvote" in the main ftp area. There were 41 entries accepted for voting. If you prefer to download large bundles, they are available in the directory named "zipped-up", under the name "images-*.zip" for the images, and "all-text.zip" for the text. This round's voting interval is 14 days; votes will be accepted from 11 March through 25 March. Winners will be announced 26 March 2004. NOTE: We have switched to a new server, and have had some problems with the registration and voting system. If you experience password problems, re-register your current email address; if that does not help, please contact us immediately. The March-April round of the IRTC is now open. The topic for this round is "Great Inventions". You may begin submitting for this round immediately; entries will be accepted through 30 April 2004. -- The IRTC Admin team
