*DEADLINE extended to June 10th*

Hey there BiMers,

David Pagano and I are joining forces to host a Film Festival at Brickworld Chicago this year. We are limiting entries to people who are registered to the convention, but hopefully that includes a few people on this forum (Stevefrog, I'm looking at you), because we'd really like this festival to be a showcase for some great animations (though we're also opening it up to live action LEGO films).

If you've never been to a LEGO convention, I highly recommend it, there's nothing like spending a couple days with other fans. Brickworld Chicago is my favorite convention and there are usually several animators there (in addition to David, myself, and Stevefrog, last year YouTubers CarrollFilms, rifraf, and TLFScarheart were there). Anyway, enough plugging for Brickworld, here are the rules:

• You must be a Brickworld Full Registrant to enter.

• Your film must be longer than 15 seconds and shorter than 5 minutes in length.

• Your film should use LEGO elements to tell a story. It can be animated or live action, or a combination of the two.

• Your film must not contain any copyrighted audio. Incompetech is a great source for royalty-free music.

• Your film must be uploaded to YouTube.

• To submit, send a YouTube message to user "brickworldvideos" with the following information:
     -Your Full Name
     -Your Age
     -A link to your film

• Films should be enjoyable by all ages. Curse words, excessive violence, sexual content, and drug use will be grounds for disqualification.

• Prize categories TBD.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing your submissions!  DEADLINE FOR ENTRY is June 10th. Let me know if you have any questions.
