Status Update on Videos
Hey Everybody,
Hopefully you've gotten some sleep. Due to the overwhelming number of entries, it's going to take a bit of time to put up demo videos while giving the presentations justice. As a result, we're going to give our video team the time they need to do things properly. That means we'll be postponing the Student Choice Award until later this week. It'll be worth it.
