The Quick Short Advertising Contest was a brickfilming competition run by Leonardo Escobar on the Bricks in Motion forums in 2009. The aim of the contest was to produce a 30-second brickfilm advertisement for a product, real or fictitious.
History[]
The contest was started on February 9, 2009.[1] It was sponsored by the website Moving Bricks, which was a little-used brickfilm directory site started by Escobar in 2007 that listed all submissions without making them go through a review panel and acceptance process.[2] Entries were required to be submitted between the 15th and the 22nd of March. Originally, they were not permitted to be shared before the deadline, but due to requests from entrants, this was changed to allow entries to be shared from the 17th of February.
