1. Read read read all the requirements
2. Understand the deadline for submission. This is a 2 part award (either/or/and) and the submission deadlines are not the same day
3. Give yourself a day for uploading the file for submission. Took us hours to do last year.
4. Build a render farm and get very familiar with it

We are using Maya on Macs for artwork and are building a Maya/Mental Ray Server Farm on Windows.

hmmmmm...

I keep going to FIRSTbase for the award announcement. Now the web page can not even be accessed. Maybe this is good sign and they are updating the site as we speak.

Well, at least they changed the message when you go to the Awards tab of http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=first_home

Now (1:00pm eastern time) I see "COMING SOON - Information on the 2011 Award!"
