The submission period for the January-April 2005 round of the Internet Ray Tracing Animation Competition is over. The animations are now available for viewing, voting, and comment at WWW: http://www.irtc.org/anims/ FTP: ftp://ftp.irtc.org/pub/anims/2005-04-15/ There were 3 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 4 May through 17 May 2005. Winners will be announced 18 May 2005. Note that due to the low turnout, no Honorable Mentions will be awarded. Note that due to a delay in opening animation voting, voting for both animations and stills are open at the same time. Judges are invited to vote on both. The April-June animation round of the IRTC is now open. The topic for this round is "Explosion". You may begin submitting for this round immediately; entries will be accepted through 15 June 2005. -- The IRTC Admin team
