Ten Lines Contest

The Ten Lines Contest was a brickfilming contest hosted by Joshua Leasure on Brickfilms.com between 2005 and 2006. The aim of the contest was to create a brickfilm including ten lines of dialogue from a given pool of 30. It was an official Brickfilms.com "mini-contest", and occurred between the major contests Heroes and Villains Contest and Fame, Infamy and Glory Contest.

A second edition of the Ten Lines Contest was hosted by Jonathan Phillips between 2011 and 2012 on Bricks in Motion.

History
The contest was announced as coming soon by Joshua Leasure on the 23rd of November 2005. The same day, he posted a thread in which members could submit possible lines for the contest. The original intention was for the contest to have a pool of 20 lines where members would have to produce a film incorporating between ten and twenty of them, with no other dialogue. This format was changed before the contest began to permit other dialogue. The pool of lines was also extended to 30 due to the large quantity of suggested lines.

Leasure announced the beginning of the contest with the 30 selected lines on November 27, 2005, referring to it as "the next Brickfilms mini-contest". Entrants had to make a film incorporating at least ten of the 30 lines, and were allowed to include other dialogue as well. The winners would be chosen through a top 3 ballot from each entrant and from any patron 24fps or higher who submitted a ballot.

Following a small deadline extension, the contest concluded on January 12, 2006, receiving 11 entries.
