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.

This list will be made into a playlist on the Brickfilmer's Guild YouTube Channel.
