This year promises fierce competition, where only renders that balance technical perfection with artistic soul will reach the top. That said, if your project consists of a floating house on an iceberg with neon lights... you might want to prepare a very good conceptual justification as well.
Pro Tip: The perfect lens flare can earn you points... but the display of 50 virtual candles in a minimalist bathroom probably won't.
