Easy answer:

Q: Can you use a piece of copyrighted music, in accordance with fair-use policies (10%, no greater than 30 sec) in a FIRST submitted animation?

A: Yes

Q: If you do so, will it be disqualified?

A: Yes.


You CAN put it in. They WILL disqualify you if you do.

Fair-use or not, it's still a copyrighted piece. As Dave Lavery bluntly put it: You're screwed.
