The IDEA contest in 2007 had a 6 minute time limit, which seemed rather arbitrary to me. I don't remember how many other films were hurt by this, but mine certainly was.

Yeah, I remember. Back in the days when I had the time to make long brickfilms but couldn't do so.

Yep. The IDEA contest had, I believe, a 6-minute max time limit. It was pretty unpopular and I think everybody involved regretted it afterward.
Incidentally, my entry "Crown of Syracuse" was 5 minutes long and won.
edit: Always check to see if there's another page before posting, kids 
Smeagol, any idea on when to expect the results?
At this point I'm thinking it may take longer than 2 weeks in all, so maybe give it three weeks? As in 3 weeks from the contest deadline. I'm not really sure, we're trying out a slightly new judging system which I think will be better in the long run.
The judges, however, I can announce: Night Owl, Noodle, and myself.
ah good judges! 
I expect the results to be posted by the time I get back from vacation on the 18th. Nick Durron ftw! 
Nick Durron ftw!
Yeah, I think it's gonna be close between mindgame and Nick Durron.
Looking forward to the results.
Remember, it's based not only on animation, but whether it's AG or not. I think there were some other films that fit the theme decently and had nice animation as well. We'll have to wait to see what the judges think.
Nick Durron's was VERY AG, though the animation wasn't as good as mindgame, it should take home at the very LEAST 3rd place.
I don't think it was really avant-garde, but was extremely well-made, and certainly different from most brickfilms.

Avant-garde > Animation
The way it should go down IMO. First: Timothy R | Second: Bodville | Third: Nick Durron
Just my opinion, man.
nvm
Is it still too late to enter?
Yes, the deadline has passed.
You beat me to it.
This was a successful competition, I must say.
I am looking forward to see who wins, and I'm just as excited about BiM 2011!
We're getting close to having results ready. Hopefully sometime next weekend we will be able to hold a results chat.
