Notable changes this year:
  • New deadline: Paperwork by Feb. 6, animation and storyboard by Feb. 13
  • Must be in QuickTime format. No DV, DiVX, Cinepak or any other codecs.
  • You have 2 chances of going to final judging: winning a regional AVA or being selected by the Autodesk judges
  • 3 National Awards: Championship, Honorable Mention (new) and Rising Star (Rookie)
  • New theme: "Ideas Realized – the process of visualizing what you want to achieve from being part of FIRST."
Just a clarification on the video compression: the file format must be QuickTime (.mov), and the codec used must be DV-NTSC.

There is also a plethora of strict new regulations about frame rate, resolution, placement of text, audio levels, etc. so make sure you read the rules posted on Streamline before you start animating.
