A couple of days ago, LEGO launched a new beta feature on LEGO Ideas; building contests. And, to start off, they also announced their first contest, asking LEGO fans to design their own version of the LEGO Ideas logo. The prizes are amazing, so you might want to participate. Below are the details of the contest, info about the prizes, and more. 🙂
➡ LEGO IDEAS LOGO CONTEST – OVERVIEW: The predecessor of LEGO Ideas, named LEGO CUUSOO, started in Japan in 2008. Since then, nineteen amazing LEGO sets – originally designed by LEGO fans and voted for by the public – were released under the LEGO CUUSOO/LEGO Ideas platform. After many successful years and a collection of awesome LEGO sets, LEGO crowdsourcing will be celebrating ten years in 2018! That’s actually a pretty big deal, and an exciting milestone for such an innovative platform. As far as the Build Your LEGO Ideas Logo Contest, the challenge is to build a logo for the LEGO Ideas platform, any way you like. The winning entries will be used next year on LEGO’s social media pages, while celebrating the 10th anniversary of LEGO Ideas.
➡ LEGO IDEAS LOGO CONTEST – HOW TO ENTER: Build your version of the LEGO Ideas logo using LEGO bricks or a digital building tool like LEGO Digital Designer. Take up to five photos of your creation and submit them to the contest, making sure to show off all angles of your creation. Add a title and short description. Upload your entry to the contest using the blue Submit Your Entry button on the contest entry page.
➡ LEGO IDEAS LOGO CONTEST – RULES: This contest invites you to build the LEGO Ideas logo, however, please do not build the red LEGO logo or include the LEGO logo in your entry. Entries with military themes will not be eligible for the contest. Projects may only contain genuine (not cut, glued, drawn on, or modified) LEGO bricks. You must be the original creator of all creative work you submit (the model, images, photographs, description text, etc.) and you must have the exclusive right to submit your model to this contest. You may not submit a model made by, or on behalf of, someone else.

➡ LEGO IDEAS LOGO CONTEST – JUDGES: A panel of judges from the LEGO Ideas team and LEGO product designers will select a first, second and third place winner. They will judge entries upon: overall coolness and originality – 25%, most inspired detail – 25%, relevance to contest theme – 25%, best use of LEGO elements – 25%.

➡ LEGO IDEAS LOGO CONTEST – WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT: Winners will be contacted on the email address associated with their LEGO ID account after December 18th, 2017 and announced on LEGO Ideas when the winners returned the signed Winner’s Certification Documents.

A great contest, isn’t it?

Please note that since the contest feature of LEGO Ideas is still in beta, some details may evolve over time.
