I was reading the rules and I'm guessing that anything rendered with an official version of POV-Ray will be acceptable. I saw this popular Blender script "povanim" for POV-Ray that was made by one of the coolest Blender python scripters in the news section over on the POV-Ray website.-

I have tested this script out myself and it works very well as a way of getting your Blender work to render with POV-Ray. One of the 3d scene renders on the Blender Siggraph demo reel was produced with this script and rendered in POV-Ray.


This looks like it will be a very interesting contest.

Have fun!

That's right, you are completely free in the use of your tools, the images just have to be rendered with POV-Ray in the end. The judging is going to focus on the skills of the artist shown and the appeal of the image. The complete rules can be found on:

Some more hints on creating an entry and information on the judging criteria are available on:
