Since this contest is determined by peer rating, anyone reading this is a potential judge in the contest, and I'm wondering what we're looking for to win this year's contest.  Not who, because this contest always brings out the best in all the artists on this Forum.  I still go back and watch "Follow Me" and the "Carnival Nightmare." I wonder what kind of fractal are we expecting to win this contest. We obviously have some new options open to us, not the least of which is Amazing Surface.  In my mind, definitely a top contender.  Or will it maybe be the dIFS fractals?  A rotated Abox, or a Menger/Abox julia?  Have we seen the last of the mandelbulb and its various cousins?  What's going to mean more, color, shape, texture?  Does Kali have another brilliant formula to spring on us?  Do 2-axis fractals even stand a chance (I was going to say 2-dimensional, but we all know fractal dimensions are a bit fuzzy)? One way or another, I don't think it would be a bad idea to discuss what we're looking for this year.  Potential contestants, myself included, might find this inspirational.

hello, the discussion is perfectly fine, i personally hope that more heavy art is entered, by that i mean more hand-work modification of the fractals,
in a way that the fractals are just used as inspiration but the final touch is human, this is what i am going to follow for upcoming calendar as well,
so, in the animation part we might have some very distinguished productions, either fast paced produced via gpu rendering, or due to the long
preparation time this year high quality rendered stuff syncronised to the music

and the third part of the competition is as open as possible, surely it should consists of fractals, but what the end is entered there is really hard to predict

Naturally we are going to see a lot of post-work and clever editing, and I look forward to it.  My question is as much for the artists as the judges, since they are after all the same people.  I'm wondering which formulas we are going to see the most potential in.

That's easy! 

Playing with  A Beer Cup  ALWAYS makes the best art!

At least for me   afro

It's not the formula, or the type of fractal, it the creativity and style applied to the effort!

Last year we had a surprise winner that was barely a fractal at all:

I think you got it exactly. The infinity set showed us, that the race for the newest and hippest hybrid is no longer wanted. That's the time, when a techincal implementation might become art.
