Another vote for the second image!

There is a solution, print out the render at 300dpi, get your cheap ass camera and take a photo of it.
Problem solved and it qualifies.

And how do you plan to implant fake EXIF data in your renders? They might look for that. I know I would.

right click->properties->details.

Or look for a high definition DLP projector and take a picture of the projection. It might end up looking more natural than the original, who knows

Can't wait to see how this goes for you Richard
Here's what I'm picturing...
Judge: This is a great photo! Where was it taken?
Richard: Well, at my house, but strictly speaking the subject doesn't exist in reality.
Judge: oooook.

Hope you don't mind me modifying your image, but as a former photography judge I always look for some focal point or something for my eyes to keep coming back to. If my eyes follow the perspective lines of the building to their vanishing point my eyes will essentially leave the frame of the photograph and be wondering in space. However if there is a visual focal point within the frame of the photograph my eyes will keep coming back to it. Essentially maintaining my attention. and to win a photography contest you must first Grab the judges attention IE with something that there can be no mistake and the eyes will immediately go to that location. As human we instinctively focus on other human beings. IE: if there is a picture of a wheat field alone and one of the exact same wheat field but the second one has a person in it. In the picture with the person our eyes will First see the person. In general our eyes are drawn to the color white also for this reason. "The whites of their eyes". Well your image just called out to me as a perfect example of a great image that would be even better of it had a human element to grab your attention and then allow you to keep your eyes within the frame pf the photograph.
Again I hope you don't mind
Regards
Phil

Certainly dont mind phil!
Great points there mate! I was originally (which actually was the first proposal) aiming to gatch a bird (avium kind) in flight of the centre recess, though the test render actually caught me more without it!
The image came to mind once when I wished I had a video camera with me, I was hanging from a cliff in our blue mountains about 100m up when I heard a rocket sound coming down from above. One of those moments climbing when your blood curls fearing a rock was coming at you!! Though actually it was a bird in a full tucked posture diving straight down the cliff line and within metres of us! The speed of the dive was startling!!!
Thanks phil, I might still revist that option!
-
Phil might have a point here....but I think it can be done very subtly.
Maybe some faint diagonal air plane fume stripes? Or yes, that bird idea. Maybe even just a highlight in the form of a specular sun hit on a window.Photography is a trade on its own.
As Phil said: 'the white of the eyes'. I think we all remember that National Geographic photo with a close up of that Afghan woman with those eyes...wow those eyes...

Got thinking about this and how interesting it would be if you are chosen...but then the judges will probably want to look at the tag data on your image ...the data the camera leaves to characterize the photo specs. As it is your image will not have any data cause it is not from a camera. Was this mentioned in the entry info?
If we're talking about the same data (and id guess we are), its very easy to add in yourself. You could keep it generic as well so as not to be an outright lie.
-
I guess the question comes down to whether or not Richard is really looking to fool the judges into thinking he took this image with an actual camera or if the idea is to be open about the fact that it's a photographic rendering. If a point is trying to be made it would seem the later is the only way to go.
