Hi everyone,
As you have noticed, we did have some changes in process during the 3D Animation competition this year, and we are aware that this resulted in some confusion at times. Some of this had to do with new people (like myself) coming on board the project, and we were also doing our best to streamline things as well to try and make it easier. All i can say is, we learned some valuable lessons for next year, and it will get better.
We do have a few things planned for this year to share the results of the competition with everyone.
I'd like to start by saying thank you to the 168 teams that participated this year. The entries were amazing, and we are very pleased with the way everyone ran with the idea. I hope everyone has looked over all the entries, you can find them here:

For our regional winners, we are in the midst of compiling a highlight reel with all the winners that will be available on YouTube and linked from the Autodesk Education Community - this will be available by Monday, May 2nd. We'll also provide a full list of all reginal winners.
Also, for the Championship finalists and winner, we'll be providing the list of the top 8 entries, along with the industry judges who selected them, on or before (not the winner of course) May 2nd, on

I hope that clears up some confusion, and i do apologize for not responding to your posts sooner.
Best Regards,
