I never actually entered — the deadline had passed before I found out about it. I did it anyway, for the experience.

The Default Cube challenge had users create a unique render from a simple default-cube scene. FYI: in Blender it's customary to delete the default cube when starting a project — I guess that's why they made the contest. Poor cube. Not sure where my render would have ranked, since I did it six months after it ended.
