### 1.9.1 The IRTC CDROM's

The »Internet Raytracing Competition (a.k.a 'IRTC') is an internet-based competition that is hosted on the povray.org server machine. While it is open to any renderer or raytracer, a large proportion of the entries are done using POV-Ray. Apart from being great eye-candy, many entrants provide their POV-Ray scene source code with their entries. Looking at and learning from others work is a great way to learn if you're just starting out.

Sales of the IRTC CDROM's go directly towards paying the considerable costs of keeping the server that hosts »povray.org and irtc.org on the internet. By purchasing any of these CDROM's you are helping us help all POV-Ray users.
