Clarifications:
Rules:
2. Basically, this rule pertains to several rules, and means any inappropriate content in the movie can cause it to be disqualified. This does not include controversial topics that may not be very well-recieved by some audiences.
4. This means that unless you are making a certain movie that is a feature film with a long plot, no lego film short should be over 10 minutes, as this is usually unnecssary. (this rule does not have to be followed so much. It just means that you don't win the contest because your film was 5 hours long.
6. Same thing as two, one of the rules that two pertains to.
10: We allow votes on movies, you vote on what you thought was the best film. (audience choice award.) Now the reason this rule is here is so that everybody actually votes for the best film and not just their own.
Using any copyrighted material means you will be disqualified. When you vote in judging (You can vote on your own film) if you have too much bias shown (i.e. you rate your film really, really high, and everybody else's really low.) your vote will be revoked, and your film disqualified.
