The Brickfilmer's Guild is proud to present the 2015 Brickfilmer's Guild Film Festival.  The BFG Film Festival is an online brickfilming festival that will showcase some of the best brickfilms of 2015. We invite all brickfilmers to submit their best brickfilm of 2015.

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 2015.  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 all around the world.  The first round of the judging will be done by Big Monkey of thefourmonkeys, after the deadline passes.  He will narrow down all of the entries to just 20-40 finalist entries which will be judged by all five judges.  This list will be made into a playlist on the Brickfilmer's Guild YouTube Channel.

Judges:
Big Monkey (Administrator at Brickfilmer's Guild)
David Pickett (Co-founder of Set Bump)
Pritchard Studios (Moderator on BricksInMotion.com)
Mirko Horstmann (Administrator at Brickboard)
Aiwha - Bruno Lefèvre (Developer at Brick Brack)

There will also be various honorable mention categories.

Prizes:
We will continue the tradition that was started last year.  There will be no physical prizes awarded to the winners.  Winning and being nominated for anything in this festival is the prize itself, however the winner of "Best Film" will be added to the list of past winners in the BFG Library.

3. Your entry does not have to be made for this festival, but if you include the BFG logo in the first 5 seconds of your brickfilm, it will make you eligible for the "Best Entry with BFG Logo" category.  This category will be judged by Big Monkey only. 

4. The principle animation technique must be stop motion.

5. It must be under 15 minutes long.

English. I wouldn't sweat it. The French and German judges have a pretty good grasp of English.
