2007 AVA changes
 

Unfortunately there won't be regional awards this year, or rookie & honorable mention awards at the Nationals.

This was posted by Autodesk on FIRSTbase:

• The Autodesk Inventor Award winner will be announced at the FIRST
  Championship.
• The Autodesk Visualization Award winner will also be announced at the
  FIRST Championship. There will no longer be regional Autodesk
  Visualization Awards.
• For both competitions, entries will be submitted and available for
  public viewing on the Autodesk FIRSTbase website.
• Autodesk judges will review all entries and advance 5 finalists for
  each of the two awards.
• The 5 finalists will be posted to the Autodesk FIRSTbase website
  approximately two weeks before Championship where FIRST Robotics team
  members can view and vote for the final winner.
• Voting for the final winners in both categories will also continue
  on-site at the FIRST Championship.
• One winner for each award will be announced at the FIRST Championship.
  Please note that there will no longer be an Honorable Mention or Rookie
  winner.
