1. not enough licenses distributed (is this part of what you would want to include in at this time?)
2. has not been and is not consistent for the participants from year to year.
3. not having a peer vote on a regional level would

a. increase the volume of the work load on the Championship level by not having the submissions judged at the regional level
b. decrease the value of the award in that peers and their FIRST mentors who have been through the process, understand it and can appreciate the work and effort of the submissions when voting

4. as evidenced in this thread, more teams have become involved and have actively campaigned and recruited new members in joining their FIRST teams solely for this animation opportunity, only to find that the judging has changed significantly.

What else?
If you don't like any of the wordings and want to add/delete, let me know.

Sounds about right.
