Great to see the Challenge moving forward. It looks like some wise thought has gone into this year's version. Three comments from me:

Fewer challenges is a good idea, I think. It's difficult to say whether this particular format (still+animation+abstract) will work without knowing the specifics of how the challenges are created. Will they be designated spaces/structures? Self-designed? Existing? Premature questions, probably, but for what it's worth I felt that many of last year's challenges left too much up for speculation and decision.

Can you elaborate on this? Is this different than last year? Will judges be compensated for their participation as an incentive to provide adequate feedback? Will they be required to participate in WIP rounds?
