This contradicts some of the reasoning given when they began the Regional Awards. Back then the argument was there were TOO MANY animations for the professionals to go through. Having Regional Awards would filter out the lesser deserving ones to reduce the workload on the Championship judges. Now the workload has been increased beyond where it was when they began Regionals.

Inconsistency in the Visualization Award over the years has been a continuing frustration for the students who participate. There are many threads in the archives discussing these problems.
It was because of Autodesk's indifference to the animators concerns that G-3D came into existence.
Looks like it's time to fire it back up.
