Maybe a temp forum section could be dedicated for it, but will many people show wips and so on? Perhaps the wip forum is good enough, one could write [challenge] when posting a wip about this competition.

I wonder if I have enough time for that one. I'll be moving to Berlin next month plus a new job. Will keep me busy for quite a while. :(

I suggest the scene should also include elements (such as glossy chairs, tables, or other objects) under direct light that produce reflective caustics.
