Brickfilms.com have introduced a new contest to challenge participants to rethink traditional brickfilm production. Under the rules, each entry must feature a minifigure—or an equivalent character—moving within a set that uses as few LEGO elements as possible, with filmmakers even encouraged to use no LEGO pieces at all if they choose.
Small accessories such as carrots, shovels, tables, or chairs remain permitted. However, larger constructions—including full LEGO sets, large scenic builds, and baseplates measuring 16×16, 32×32, or 48×48 studs—are strictly prohibited.
Each animation must run for at least 15 seconds, but beyond these structural limitations, creators are free to tell any story they wish. The rule change aims to inspire inventive staging and unconventional approaches to stop‑motion storytelling.
To participate, post your film to Brickfilms.com and submit it on the contest page before May 17 at 11:59 p.m.
Prizes will be awarded for the top three. Check out the official rules HERE.
