Can you please give some details on the "Annual Holiday Contest" Animation segment. Are they to be posted on youtube but linked in the Contest Animation page? Is there a limit on size? The info appears to be sadly lacking or I'm missing it completely..Which is most likely knowing me :) But to clear things up could you post info here? Thanks

I'm not on staff, but I think these are the key items from the contest rules that answer your question:

• Thumbnail image must be maximum of 300 pixels (wide) x 350 pixels (height) in .jpeg or .gif format (72 dpi).
• Image size must be a maximum of 1200 pixels x 1200 pixels in .jpeg or .gif format (72 dpi).
• Max file size is 50MB and the accepted files are: doc,pdf,rtf,txt,jpg,gif,png,ppt,fla,mov,m4a,avi,wmv,swf,tif,mp3,divx,mpg,mpeg,mp4,3gp,docx,md
• You MUST include a description in the blank field to tell what type of software you used, what inspired you and how long it took to create the image.
• Entries MUST NOT appear online anywhere else during the contest or until the Contest Winners have been posted.

So you upload three things (small image, large image and video file) plus fill out a description. This is the same as the Halloween Contest. The videos will not be streamed, but rather downloaded for viewing by voters. Don't upload to YouTube or any other site until after the contest.
