When will Autodesk announce the finalists?

Hmm,.. Autodesk usually announces the 5 finalists in the Design Competition about 2 weeks before the Championship. Nothing on FIRSTbase yet.

Has anybody heard anything?

Re: When will Autodesk announce the finalists?

I think they wait until all the regionals are done and all the regional winners are announced.

Re: When will Autodesk announce the finalists?

Do you have to win your regional to be considered as one of the six finalists or do they look at all of them?

Re: When will Autodesk announce the finalists?

You don't have to win a Regional to be one of the 5 finalists. I know because last year we lost the Regional but later were chosen as a finalist

Re: When will Autodesk announce the finalists?

There is no voting this year (thank goodness). Industry professionals from Autodesk will select the overall winner.
