The Brickys are a LEGO Message Boards awards contest originally held at the end of every year, but is now held every six months. It was run by Daniel77724 in the MB News Central in the News Forum from 2009-2011, but from 2012 it was held in the LNSA by Huohana. In 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 they were held by Diglett809 in the Community Chat forum.
The Brickys were created by Daniel77724 in 2009 as an adaptation of the LMB-NSA, another awards contest run by HQuiff earlier in 2009. At first the competition was made up on the spot, but an official set of rules were made by 2011.
The Brickys have 10 award categories which MLB users can vote others user for. These categories are: Best News Reporter, Best News Station, Best Leader, Best Quality Poster, Fastest Poster, Friendliest User, Funniest User, Best Avatar, Best Signature, and MB User Of The Year.
There are 3 rounds of voting in the Brickys: Nominations, Judging, and Voting. In the first round, users nominate their favourite for each category; in the second round, the Brickys judges give each nominee a score, and in the third round, the users vote. Each round eliminates users until there is one left.
Following the 2015 Brickys, the Brickys were made twice a year to better account for the opinions of the users throughout the year, not just at the end.

*LVANS was the teaming up of LVNS and LNSA as they did not want any competition. This action was discontinued in later Brickys.
**Now referred to as Best Quality Poster.
2009 was the first Brickys and was completely experimental. The MB User Of The Year and Fastest Poster awards were added later.
