Summer Contest 2018

The Summer Contest 2018 (stylized as #SummerContest2018) was a brickfilming event hosted on Brick à Brack in 2018. The event was composed of 8 challenges which were spread out over 9 weeks, from July 2 to September 2, 2018. Each challenge had a different theme related to the making of a brickfilm, from the preproduction stage to the postproduction. Participants were freely allowed to enter or skip any of the challenges, and entries were allowed in either English or French.
