As an animator judging the Silicon Valley regional, I graded team 253's animation very high in both creativity and technical execution but did not grade as high in message. I was very impressed with 253's animation...so congradulations (Look forward to competing against you in nationals). But back to the topic of the thread, although the student judging might not be "fair," it is also nice to have some imput. A solution for this could possible be to split the award into 2 awards, say one by judged by professionals, and the other by students, that way. Or, have a combination of student and professional judging, say 50/50 or some variation of the ratio to be worked out by Autodesk.

EDIT: oops, it looks like i didnt read the thread closely enough beacuse the 2 award idea has already been mentioned. Heh.
