I forgot to post a description before the 15th.
Assuming I can still enter, the description is here:
My upcoming (I think) entry shows an alien city, technologically middle 21st century Earth. The inhabitants are trunked bipeds, somewhat humanoid. For them, it is a day of confusion and uncertainty -- a alien craft, marked "NASA", is descending from the sky.

You got me - now I´m curious...
Okay, here it is. I somewhat over-advertised it, so it may not exactly live up to expectations. I spent too much time on the landscape, and not enough on the aliens, which is why they look like cartoon characters. And the background isn't imaginative enough; it looks like Earth.

It took 2h 55m to model, and ~30-40m to render. AO, AA, AR.
Edit: fixed the link.

I just realized that there is only one day left: I hereby proclaim that the following image should be my official contest entry! 
In accordance with iammatt's comment and my own thoughts, I chose the first of the linked images.
BTW: I learned that individual screen settings (brightness/contrast) strongly influence the overall "impact" of my image. So be advised to increase your screen's brightness to a level you can see anything at all! 
Edit: Added in 1024x768

I hope this is posted in time! 1min to 00:00 in Sweden.
And in my understanding that would have left you another 24 hours - timezone corrections* to do whatever you might have thought necessary with your scene. (Not that I could think of anything... that's a really cool alien-insectoid!)
If I got it right and August 1st-27th includes the 27th...
(*Which is the decisive timezone for the contests??? UTC?)

Yeah, I think it includes the 27th too - because im posting tonight, in like 4-5 hours 
Don't worry - the science behind the time is only known by me . Actually, I'm not too worried about it - as long as it is in before I set up the poll on the morning of the 28th Mountain Time.
The aliens invades! It might be YOUR local corner
I dont feel 100% finished with it, but with school I havent had a lot of time to work on it - used like 1-2 hours all in all...
