There has always been a rule on - not using Copyrighted music. This should actually apply to eveything in the animation- if you used backgroubd imagery- that could posibly be a copyrighted photo.

The rule doesnt say that you need to get permision- I says that you have to sign an Archive Release form (page 23 of the awards.pdf) and that form says that you must own or have the rights to use all the content in you animation and that you give full and unrevolkable rights to Autodesk to use your animation anyway they see fit.

And all entries were required to include this form. Thus you must have rights/permisions to use all materials in the animation. This form has been part of atleast the past 4-years of AVA competition. Beyond that I dont know.
