Now that BricksWest is out of the bag.....
I would like to invite anyone with an animated bone in their body to submit an
entry or two (several if you would like) to a juried competition of animated
films to be held at BricksWest 2002.
The BricksWest Animation Festival will be divided into two main categories:
animations using LEGO System Products and computer generated animations using
any program including LDraw. All of the details can be found at
http://www.brickswest.com/ with rules coming in a couple of weeks.
There will be prizes given to the participants that win in each category. We
are still working on this, but we are hoping something cool like LEGO passed
out at their first animation festival.
The winning animations and honorable mentions will be shown at a special
session at BricksWest and all entries will be showing all weekend long at the
BricksWest Convention. With luck, we might even be able to show them in the
park at LegoLand.
You do not need to be present to enter or win (in fact entries are due Jan 31,
2002), but we hope you will come for the Premeire, the Gala afterwards and the
autograph signing at the party.
