Thanks for the support, everyone.  Win or not, I consider it a win for the Poser community just to get selected as a finalist. 

FYI, the animation is based on a short, rhyming story that my brother did for a preschool class he teaches.  It goes along with a lesson plan about the good side of cultural diversity.  It's about two little frogs (the DAZ toon frogs) who wander away from their swamp home, and on their journey discover other little frogs living nearby in the swamp who have different skin coloration and speak different froggy languages.  Even though the little frogs can't communicate verbally with each other, they quickly discover they can play and have fun together anyway.  Soon the frogs are reunited with their parents, and at the end of the story all of the frogs in the swamp are visiting each other and getting along and even learned to communicate by speaking a combined froggy language.  The school kids and their teachers loved it.  I got a Canadian band (Keri Lattimer of the band "Nathan") to put the story to music then animated to that.

I'm just starting to animate another story he did about little black ants, but I first need  to find a musician to put it to music ( I envison sort of a latino/salsa/hip-hop beat, which comes to mind when I think of the old "Ants, ants, ants in your pants" lymric.) 

Also I just had another hard drive crash, so I need to replace it and hope my backup works.
