Dean complains annually about what a crummy job we've collectively done of documenting 20+ years of FRC, then they remove one of the only awards (Website) that rewards documentation?

Guess we better work on getting our ~30 media, web, and animation team members cracking on that Digital Media Award, since it's the only game in town...
I can't find the part that limits the competition to just teams attending Worlds. I'm hoping they stick with the Website Award approach, regional winners [now everyone] were eligible even if they didn't attend Champs. It'd also be nice to have honorable mentions and maybe to keep around a "Website Excellence"-type certification.

I understand there's probably some complexity running regional-level awards that don't associate with the championship version (i.e. if they kept the website award at the regional level). Still, I hope they reconsider and, if not add something at the regional level, at least open it to non-Worlds teams and offer more recognition options.
