All entries must be registered online by 4:00 pm 2/7/25.
Use your own LEGO, Duplo, Mega Bloks, or other LEGO-compatible plastic bricks.
Entries must be your own creation, not a LEGO-designed kit project found online, in a magazine, in a kit that was sold, etc.
Your creation must be on a base no bigger than 24 inches by 24 inches. The base can be (but is not limited to) wood, cardboard, or a flat LEGO base and can be decorated to fit your project. Your completed entry cannot be taller than four feet.
Each entry requires a one-page build description to help spectators and judges appreciate the creation. The description should be under 100 words and provide enough detail to explain the theme and key features. You can also emphasize aspects such as the inspiration for this work, the design process, and special features.
There can be only one entry per participant or team, where applicable.
Team projects will be placed in the category of the oldest participant in the team. Please note: while all team members will receive a certificate (if applicable), a team will compete for a single prize.
