There are three LEGO contests running right now I wanted to bring your attention to. They are fun, interesting and challenging ways to keep yourself busy this summer, and the prizes are great! So let’s take a look! 🙂
➡ THE LEGO MOVIE EMMET AWARDS COMPETITION: This is an ongoing contest with a different challenge every month. This month the contest is to build the biggest, wildest and most awesome spaceship model ever! Also, you will need to include a cool pilot and a co-pilot in your photo. This contest runs until the end of June. And as this is part of an ongoing string of contest, for each contest there are five nominees. Those nominees will each win an exclusive prize. At the end of all of the contests one winner will be chosen from each contest. Those winners will each win the full 2014 The LEGO Movie product assortment. There will also be One Grand Prize winner that will take home an amazing one of a kind gift. Read details, rules and how to enter the contest here: LEGO EMMET AWARDS CONTEST DETAILS
➡ LEGO FRIENDS IN SPACE COMPETITION: This contest is run by the official LEGO bookmarking site ReBrick. Here is the announcement: LEGO Friends are going where they’re never gone before….SPACE! But they need your help to get there. From spaceships to mecha suits to space stations, we want you to help us build everything the LEGO Friends gang needs to travel into the stars using LEGO Friends parts! So yeah, that means things like pink X-wings, and mechs decorated with flowers are fair game! The competition will run until August 8th, 2014 and the winners will be announced on August 18th, 2014. First prize winner will receive the entire range of LEGO Friends Jungle products (5 sets in total: #41032, #41033, #41036, #41038, and #41059) signed by their designers second prize winner will receive #41057 LEGO Friends Heartlake Shopping Mall signed by the designer, and third prize winner will receive #41037 LEGO Friends Stephanie’s Beach House signed by the designer.

➡ LEGO MIXELS SERIES 2 BUILDING COMPETITION: This contest is run by Brickset and the prizes are sponsored by LEGO. It is a repeat of the highly popular contest with the Series 1 Mixels run earlier this year. Basically you just need to build a Mixels ‘Max’ monster, from two or three (different) blue, orange or brown Mixels from Series 2. Entries will be judged primarily on the appearance of the monster – how cool, scary, weird, whacky, inventive, imaginative it is – but judges will also be on the look-out for interesting building techniques and use of parts. The competition will run until July 6th, 2014 and the winners will be announced on July 11th, 2014. First prize winner will receive #70816 LEGO Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!, second prize winner will receive #70815 LEGO Super Secret Police Dropship, and third price winner will receive #70814 LEGO Emmet’s Construct-o-Mech.

So what do you think? Are you planning to enter any of these LEGO contests this summer? If you do, let us know so we can cheer for you! 😉
And you might also like to check out the following related post:
I’d like to enter the Mixels building contest, but I don’t have Flikr anything, and I’m too young to participate on Brickset. 🙁 The Friends in Space sounds nice, but I have no Friends sets.
Wait, I thought licensed Space-crafts weren’t allowed in the FiS contest? You mentioned pink X-wings but the rules said no ‘references to licensed themes’. 😕
Although you may not be able to enter the Brickset contest, you can certainly enter the Friends one. Please note you don’t have to own a Friends set. The rule in this regard is quite loose. They just mainly want you to use pieces that are found in LEGO Friends sets and you can also design your model in LDD. As far as X-wings, they could certainly exists outside of the Star Wars Universe. 😉
Nice! Love contests!
I’m totally doing the spaceship SPACESHIP SPACESHIP!!!!!!!! one.
Cuz entire assortment? They’ve made like 17 sets and some are purty big
Nice! Keep us posted on how it goes! Good luck! 😛

You are???!!! Can’t wait to see them! 😛
Here they are, i think my favorite one was the bugger. I think this will work: https://www.flickr.com/photos/125585685@N05/
LOL! They are fun! I like how you incorporated a Nixel in one of them. I don’t think anybody else have done that, so you got an edge there. 😉
Thanks 🙂
And the Octopus one used a lot of sideways building, for the circular base, and the head and arms/tentacles.
Oh, and i just looked through the set, and this was the only one that had any Nixel at all, and not much at that: https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonvx/14436556304/in/pool-bricksetcompetitions/
Yes, each tribe only have one Nixel, so for example for the orange tribe you will find one Nixel for the three packets. Love that one crushing a Nixel! 😈
Yeah, that one was incorporated really nicely 😈
