For a category containing films that were entries to BRAWL, see Category:BRAWL brickfilms

The Brickfilm Rapidly All Week Long contest, commonly abbreviated to BRAWL, is an annual brickfilming contest that lasts for one week. With the exception of music production, all writing, recording, animating, editing and submitting has to be done within the time limit of seven days. BRAWL has been hosted on the website Bricks In Motion since its inception. The contest was conceived by Andrew Munzer and has been run by various individuals since 2008. The contest is currently hosted by "Fun Sucker".

The First BRAWL
The first BRAWL was held on the Bricks in Motion Refugee Camp by Andrew Munzer from August 2nd, 2008 to August 9th 2008. It received 11 entries and was judged by Nathan Wells, Nikolas Jaeger, and Philip Heinrich. Zach Macias was also slated to be a judge but submitted his ballot too late to be included. Final results were calculated by also including a public viewer vote.

BRAWL 2009
BRAWL 2009 was hosted by Andrew Munzer and ran from August 23rd to August 30th. It received 19 entries and the judges included Dylan Woodley, Randy Yard, Owen Hyatt and Munzer himself. Results for the contest took over 3 months to be posted which caused controversy on the Bricks in Motion forum. Annoyed with the magnitude of complaints, Munzer decided to make the community wait even longer for the results after they had been finished, generating further annoyance among the public and even some of the other contest judges.

BRAWL 2011
Due to his performance during BRAWL 2009 and a conflicting schedule in 2010, Andrew Munzer decided against hosting a BRAWL contest in 2010. Munzer attempted to organise the contest to be held by Philip Heinrich in 2010, but a poll for the next official Bricks in Motion contest resulted in the public choosing a month-long themed contest in September over a BRAWL in August. The future of BRAWL seemed uncertain as Munzer had lost interest in ever hosting it again, but he was contacted by Aaron "Goliathan" Meyer in 2011 who wished to continue the contest on, which Munzer allowed.

BRAWL 2011 was hosted by Aaron Meyer and ran from August 8th to August 15th. It received 41 entries and was judged by Meyer, Joseph Hayden, Aaron Bulger, Harrison Allen, "legostudiosplus", and "Mr_Billo". Controversy arose when Meyer first posted the top 10 results in the Bricks in Motion chatroom and later posted the placement of all 41 entries with the order of the top 10 dramatically changed.
