Heroes and Villains Contest

The Heroes and Villains Contest was a brickfilming contest hosted by Joshua Leasure in 2005. It was the sixth official Brickfilms.com contest and the second hosted in conjunction with BrickFest. It was preceded by the High Adventure Theatre Contest and followed by the Fame, Infamy and Glory Contest, though a "mini-contest", the Ten Lines Contest, was hosted by Leasure in the interim.

History
The contest was announced on the Brickfilms.com forums on March 1, 2005. The deadline was June 13, 2005. Entries were required to be encoded in Realmedia format at no more than 3MB per minute. The maximum time limit began at 8 minutes and was later extended to 10 minutes. There was no minimum time limit. The contest received 17 entries.

(BrickFest details required)

As with the High Adventure Theatre Contest the previous year, a DVD of all Heroes and Villains Contest entries was compiled and sold on Brickfilms.com. Also included on the DVD were the Brickfilms.com community project Cleaning Time and Attack of the Evil Robotic Turkey from Outer Space, a late HaV film by Chris Boyer and Brian Bridges.

Judging and Prizes
The nine top entries were nominated for the final judging by a select committee. The ranking of these nine films was then open for voting by all Patrons 24fps and above. The final placing, in addition to the winner of the Trailer Competition, was announced in the Brickfilms.com chat room on July 30, 2005. The Heroes and Villains Contest was the final contest to feature the Sisters' Awards. The awards were for Most Heroic Hero and Most Villainous Villain.

The prize pool format introduced for the High Adventure Theatre Contest was retained for the Heroes and Villains Contest. The prize pool when first announced consisted of a copy of Stop Motion Pro, $50 store credit for the Bricklink seller Active Builders and an AKG D60S microphone. This pool was later changed. The final prize pool consisted of a copy of Stop Motion Pro, a copy of Sony Vegas 5.0 and a Behringer UB1002 mixer.
