Challenge wise I would say model from concept, yeah the stuff would look the same but its how its been done technically and optimally that would be the difference in each model. So plenty of wire frames on show, texture development and a final render to show the model off, not necessarily to look photoreal but from a presentation point of view. Plus a little advice from us older dudes in the industry to help out as well.
Oh and no dudes who work in the vfx/games industries are allowed to participate. Not that we'd necessarily win anyway...
Just some thoughts to chew on

Plus, it'd be kind of tough to really enforce that kind of rule. I don't know what 99% of you do for a living as it is.I suppose I can get a challenge started, but for now, no prizes.
