http://www.2dornot2d.org/ Many of you remember Tony White when he spoke to our group, his latest animation festival is coming up. Tony told me he has more entries this year than in the past including Flash animation. Also if you have kids and want to get them interested in animation the Pacific Science Center has a great event running until January 3rd Discover the nuts and bolt of animation (http://www.pacsci.org/animation/).

How would you like the chance to win an Adobe software suite up to $2,100 value? All you have to do is talk for 8 minutes on anything Flash at our next Group Meeting on November 24th.

For Example:

1. 8 minutes on what inspires you or how you get inspired.

2. 8 minutes on why you like Cartoon Smart.

3. 8 minutes on why… is the best Flash book you every read 

Here are the rules:

1. Prepare anything, but has to involve Flash.

2. You have to talk or demonstrate for at least 8 minutes, plus a 1 minute wrap up if needed.

3. Demonstration has to be on CD or thumb drive, no private laptops or internet access (nothing to slow things down). Sorry

4. Must register (manager@seattleflashusergroup.com) in advance so that I can prepare for the meeting. Just send an email with your name, address, and topic.

5. Topic must be preapproved.

6. Only people who sign up to do a presentation will be in the random drawing.

7. You have to be a registered Flash Member to win at our new Adobe site.
