OK. My host assured me that our server has a direct unthrottled connection to a 35mps pipe and that we should be able to handle the load. Unfourtunately, there will be no public vote for this challenge as we just can't afford to have 200-300 people downloading that much video. I will post smaller res version of the top 3 if I can.

I will be setting up an FTP site for the competitors to upload their animations to and emailing everyone with the FTP information. As it WILL take some time to upload the animations, please be sure you do not leave it until the last minute. Allow at least several hours to upload.

I will be disabling uploading of MOV to the forums as the forum software will not be able to handle the script execution times that would be required to upload the large file sizes.
