Mathgroup readers: I would like to hold a simple Mathematica-generated art competition. My hope is that it will be an enjoyable project that will teach other members something about Mathematica while creating something beautiful. I give these rules and reasons for them: Use only Mathematica // self-explanatory All artwork must be original // self-explanatory No source data may be used // no bitmap images, etc., are to be used Two-dimensional only // limit the time involved for creation and rendering No animations // limit storage space required for renderings Max size of 1000 x 800 pixels // images should be viewable on most displays Entries must render in a reasonable period of time // I will be rendering each entry myself Here is a page with two examples, which are also my entries: http://aerie.net/mma/ Please email entries in Mathematica Notebook format (may be compressed using pkZIP or gZIP) directly to me (gleam at flashmail.com). I will accept a maximum of three works from each entrant. All all entries will be rendered as is, so please specify ImageSize, AspectRatio, etc. in your code. There is no restriction on the use of color, but be aware that all renderings will be displayed on a black background. A method of voting will be provided after a sufficient number of entires are received. After votes are tallied, the code for each of the top entires will be posted along with the images, and credit will be given to the appropriate artists. Best of luck, Paul
