* VHS, NTSC would rule out European contestants. Is it impossible for the
organisation to hook up a computer to a tv and prepare the video beforehand?
* There's already a horror contest running. Western is an unlucky choice, as
the Western theme is out of the shops. (And happened to fall in my 'Dark
Ages'. I want these trumpets!). But in general, themed contests make for
easier judgement.
* Prescribing a story would limit the contest too much. But there are other
ways. Prescribing a (not too expensive) set, or limiting the number of
bricks, for example. These were discussed at BrickFilms a while ago.
* The non-themed showing, as at BrickFest, is a great opportunity for
animators to show off their work. It's one I enjoyed a lot (without being
there, but I saw the videotape of the show).
