Here's my 2: A guru's contest would be Bryce only. Afterall, it's a Bryce Guru contest, not a Digital Artist Guru Contest or a 3D Guru contest. No imports. Textures might be reused, why not? I use the default textures all the time, I'd hate to have to tweak each one by one point just to satisfy a dumb rule. New works only. Yes, that means you can't pull your favorite model you built for an image a year ago and use it in the entry. But that should be at the judges' discretion. (e.g. if Tatro uses Creepy in an image I think the judges might let it go as part of a series so long as it wasn't just a pic of Creepy) There would be a panel of 3 or 5 judges from the Bryce community (possibly elected by the entrants or the community at large). As for post work, leave that to the judges too. The Guru's theme should be "Made with Bryce" and if someone decides to use post work, it should be left to the judges' discretion if it's acceptable or went too far. I think perhaps post work should be said to be "frowned upon." It's about guru-ship, not about being fair to Bryce beginners. So experience will certainly give you an edge, but beginners are more than welcome to compete. You never know, one may win. Some people learn faster than others. That's it. For prizes, Corel may offer up Painter or Bryce 6 or other procreate products as a prize if they had the rights to use (not own) the final image. (it would be a great way for Corel to advertize Bryce afterall -- especially with v6 in the works) And the publicity probably wouldn't hurt the artist either. With Corel's support, they could advertize it on their site or host it even so all the Brycers would be included, not just 'rosity or 3dcommune or whatever. Corel is of course the one place all Brycers would know about. The only caveat with Corel (or any company) is that I wouldn't let them be the sole sponsor, I think having just one sponsor could end up poorly. Either way, I think the contest would have to be hosted on a third party's server so it's not thought of as a Renderosity only thing. I could volunteer space, but there are many other Bryce pages on the web that may be more appropriate. P.S. I believe the good folks over at delphiforums.com in the Bryce forum are still doing the Golden Torii awards. http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=bryce&msg=7919.1
