I agree with you!

I'm with you Frank, ageism is a limiting view, by all means encourage young blood, but if you want equity limit all AC participants/designers/ backers to 28 and younger. Yeah right! as we Kiwis Say.

Cause young guns rule and have a creative outlook that has never been seen before and might actually help in the marking of this project. Not to say your years of experience and work would not .. But why not give some of these younger editors/producers a chance to win a sweet camera or computer which they most likley and truly do need?

That's bogus. The age limitation is discriminatory. Who are you to say that someone older wouldn't need a 'sweet camera or computer which they most likley(sic) and truly do need'? Go for best idea and open it up to all!

I am with most of you on these issues. I think what they are trying to do is appeal to the younger generation. I am 29 which puts me out of the running of this as well. I don't own a video camera nor have any experience in videography. I do have the love for the sport and the want to see this cup get published like the world series and the super bowl. I would love to see Fox, espn, cbs, nbc, abc one of these companies take a real interest in this event and show it like they would any other sport. The Cup is back where it belongs let's give it the media coverage it deserves.
