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?

I suppose when they announce the 5 finalists it will be posted here:

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

when the planets align correctly

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

Kevin Thorp · #6 07-04-2009, 21:26

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

Autodesk just posted the 5 finalists in the visualization Design Award:

Congrats on the five finalist. Now its a race to get the most votes. Campaign away!!

Kevin Thorp · #9 10-04-2009, 11:33

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

BuddyB309 · #10 10-04-2009, 12:08

Really? that was one of the best parts being one of the finalist. Ah well, Good luck.

i have a question that doesn't pertain to animation but to the top 5 for inventor. on the Firstbase.com website it says:

The winner will be announced during The 2009 FIRST Competition Championship Awards Ceremony.

When does this take place? saturday afternoon is what i think of normally but on of my team members told me it might be friday morning.

Good luck to all the finalist.
