Heh, well, those were over a year old and I just uploaded them to keep my YouTube channel alive while I'm busy with school.
But yeah, I am entering this.
Big competition with big prizes and the calibre of known entrants is already out of my league.
Regardless of when they were made you have skillz. Are you submitting a film or a Brickfilm?

Those prizes are enough to make me want to swim a lava lake, pour acid on myself, and subscribe to 'Fred'.
fimyguy1 has done all those things. And he beat chuck norris in an animation contest.
This is true. (well, at least the subscribe to Fred part)
I'm definitely going to enter this unbelievable contest. Thank you for letting us know about this, jampot! 
Smeagol, Fancypants, AND Filmyguy entering?! This is gonna be EXCELLENT!!!
Wow - I didn't think many people would pick this up! I so hope one of you guys win. To be honest, you'd all deserve it, and I can say that without even seeing your entries.
I, I feel so sad. I can't enter.
Who ever wins that contest, GIVE EVERYONE ON BiM SOME OF DA MONEY! 
I just saw this too. 2 months seems like a ridiculously short time for a film turnaround, even if the maximum length is 90 seconds. I'm not sure why we didn't hear about this sooner, looks like it opened for entries in April.
Anyway, they seem to be pretty explicit in what they want -- a LEGO advertisement. So, get to it, everyone!
I'm not seeing a 90 second limit anywhere, I must be blind or something.
It's there. You just have to believe in magic to see it.
Or download the brief.
I got my entry finished and submitted this evening, so that's a relief. I'll give y'all a link when I'm sure it's safe to do so.
I saw that David Pickett entered this; did anybody else complete an entry on time?
I submitted an entry as well. Wasn't quite the film I planned but time is never my friend.

We thought it actually was quite well done. It didn't have any animation, but it was still fun. 
I agree. It had a very professional quality to it. While it wasn't as "creative" as a Brickfilm, it had definite "awwww" appeal with the cute kid and his imaginative idea - that worked! A typical audience would like the add a lot.
I remember seeing that one and not thinking too much of it at the time--it's cute but the brief said to aim entries more at the kids, it felt sort of like a parent-oriented, Hallmark-esque commercial to me. It was genuinely better than a lot of the entries, though.
My problem is the same as Smeagol's. Sure, it's a nice idea and relatively well done, but if I was a kid, that ad wouldn't keep my attention for more than 3 seconds. So it's a bit disappointing since they made it seem like the whole point was to make an ad that would appeal directly to children.
Wow, you are right. I didn't realize that the target audience was supposed to be kids. This commercial would mostly appeal to parents (especially moms)! Kids would think it was cool that the boy got his Leo bricks back built into something, but to really appeal to kids the minifigure should have popped the cork out of the bottle, driven up to the boy, climbed into his hand, and given him a message from the kid in the other country who built him! 
Where can you see the other entries?
