Chris Nowak is an unknown quantity at this point
I wouldnt be surprised if they did make the topic more specific next year, just because it will be a heck of a lot easier to judge animations about a specific subject than a bunch of animations that address a problem in about a billion different ways. This year, they have a problem. How do they decide what animation demonstrates best what FIRST means to their team? If you have two animations with equal technical excellence and equal creativity, it kind of comes down to a matter of opinion for the judges. What if in those two animations, one focused more on images, and another focused more on text, how could they decide which communicated content better? The one who did it directly through text, or the one who did it through animation clips? This is why I think they may have a more specific subject matter next year or more guidelines as to what the judges are looking for.

However, will stuff you make be rendered (no pun intended) useless? I doubt that. Anyways, if you do put a bunch of time into an animation about what FIRST is to your team, and they change the topic, make the animation anyways and use it as a promo video or something.

Am I making sense? I'm kind of tired right now so maybe I'm not thinking about this correctly.
