The A Peculiar Event Contest was a brickfilming contest hosted by Joshua Leasure between 2003 and 2004. The aim of the contest was to make a brickfilm centering around a strange occurance, ideally including a twist ending. It was the fourth official Brickfilms.com contest and was preceded by the Words of Wisdom Contest. It was followed by the High Adventure Theatre Contest in 2004. The theme "A Peculiar Event" was reprised in 2016 as the theme of the thirteenth Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest.
