Topic: 2014 Brickfilmer's Guild Film Festival Announcement
The Brickfilmer's Guild is proud to present the 2014 Brickfilmer's Guild Film Festival. The BFG Film Festival is an online brickfilming festival that will showcase some of the best brickfilms of 2014. We invite all brickfilmers to submit their best brickfilm of 2014.
Your entry can be a brickfilm that has already been made, or one you make just for this festival, as long as it was published in 2014. You have until the end of the year to submit your brickfilm.
This year's festival will have a prestigious judges panel, with representatives from the Brickfilmer's Guild,Bricks in Motion, Set Bump, Brick à Brack, and Brickboard. The first round of the judging will be done by Big Monkey, after the deadline passes. He will narrow down all of the entries to just 20-40 finalist entries. After the list is made public, any of the judges may save one entry that is not on the finalist list and add it if they choose to do so. This list will be made into a playlist on the Brickfilmer's Guild YouTube Channel.
