The Technical Excellence Competition was a brickfilming competition held by Jonathan Schlaepfer in 2008 on Bricks in Motion. It was the first official Bricks in Motion contest and the only one to be hosted on the Refugee Camp. Its aim was for entrants to produce a short clip featuring the highest quality animation they could manage. It was intended to be an annual fixture, but only ran once. It was followed by the Space, Time and Reality Contest in 2009.
