The contest will begin on Saturday, January 9, 2021 at 7:00 am EST. It will end on Sunday, January 10, 2021 at 7:00 am EST.

Rules

Anyone who is a registered member of Bricks in Motion and in good standing before the start of the contest can enter. Judges may also participate but will not be ranked or considered for prizes. Joint productions are allowed, but it will be up to your team to divide the prize amongst yourselves should you win.

Your entry must be entirely animated and edited during the 24-hour period. To prove this and as a long-time tradition of the contest, mod elements must appear in every shot of your film with the exception of 15 seconds. More on this below.

Your entry must consist of primarily LEGO (or similar building block toy) stop motion animation. Live action, CGI, and hand drawn animation are allowed but stop motion must be the primary focus.

Your entry must consist of at least 30 seconds of stop motion animation. There is no maximum time limit.
