i'm not sure if this has been discussed at all, because i'm not as frequent of a visitor to these forums after graduation... anyways, i just wanted to get an idea, how many teams are planning on entering the Autodesk Realization award competition?

and one thing i'm very curious about, do you think that this award will simply be given to the best *looking* website, or will the actual content (quality of content, organization of content, etc) be the deciding factor? it seems to me that while the design is heavily important, the core of the website should be a thousand times more important.

i believe that the Visualization award should be for showing off a team's artistic excellence, but this new realization award should be reserved for the pure content communication... imho.

We're working on our submission right now. If you read the judging criteria, there are 50 points given for content and only 20 for web design, so both are pretty important. I think this is a very cool award and I hope more teams are planning to submit something, because I would really enjoy seeing all the final products!

as has been in recent years with the animation competition, the rules and point distributions seem to not weigh heavily on the judging of animations. it seems like the one that draws the most "ooohh"'s gets the highest rating, and the "compelling storyline" and "content communication" are ignored. i think it woudl be a shame to see this happen to this new competition as well.
