I agree there should be changes- but untill they make changes you can either try to follow the guidelines or just do one for your website. My feeling is Be creative, make it funny if you want- I usually like that too, but if its not about WHAT FIRST MEANS TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM- just don't enter it. Then you wont dilute/confuse the Judging process. Not if you try to do that and its unsuccessful then fine, but if you dont care about it- then take all the time you want, make it nice and post a link- well all look at it I'm sure.

It annoyed me a couple years ago when the winning animation was half Full Screen Video. That doesn't follow the "Create 30 Sec Student Animation" Directive. Perhaps there were bunches of animations that Diluted the process- maybe not I don't know- but it didn't fit the criteria thats for sure.
