I had always assumed it had to be stationary, and I don't recall seeing animated slates in previous years. I don't know what the exact rule is, but I'd say keep it stationary unless you can find definite proof that it can be animated. No point in risking the entire entry with the slate.

Is there any way to get the exact rule? I'm interested in whether or not it can be animated as well. Slate seems to imply a single image, but then again, they used ambiguous wording and did not specifically say I
can't animate it.
Also I'm curious as to the second part of your post. Would they really disqualify an animation for animating the slate when there was no rule against it? How would they justify doing so? My definition (obviously i thought of animating the slate in the first place) of slate would be different from theirs, and they can't exactly say I was supposed to just 'know' what it meant when it is not an established meaning of the word.
