Would you like to have your LEGO model featured at the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark for all the visitors to see? Here is an opportunity for you! The latest ReBrick contest asks teen and adult LEGO fans to help decorate the LEGO House. LEGO is particularly looking for models in two categories; nature and minifigure-scale interiors. Details of the contest, as well as how to enter, are posted below. 🙂
➡ LEGO HOUSE CONTEST – OVERVIEW: The LEGO House is the home of the brick, which wouldn’t be complete without some amazing models created by fans. We want to give you the opportunity to show off your creations for an entire year to all who visit the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark! Entries are called in the following two categories:
- Nature – including animals, plants, and flowers. Make sure your model’s base is between 4×4 studs (64×32 studs in total), and the model is no more than 60 bricks high. No parts of your model can overhang 64×32 studs, although you can have different parts overhanging if you have a smaller baseplate.
- Minifigure-Scale Interiors – showcase the inside of a room or a vignette scene in minifigure-scale. Just make sure the baseplate is between 16×8 studs (64×32 studs in total), and the model is no more than 60 bricks high. No parts of your model can overhang 64×32 studs, although you can have different parts overhanging if you have a smaller baseplate.

A winner who does not return their Winner’s Certification Document within one week (5 days) of receiving it will be disqualified, and a new winner will be selected.
It’s funny how we were just talking about the LEGO House the other day, then this contest shows up. Is that a sign that we should all pack our bags and visit the LEGO House? But even if you can’t make it personally, maybe through this contest your LEGO model can! Also, remember that The LEGO Ninjago Story & Brickfilming Contest is still open. Good luck if you are entering either or both of them!

Okay, so, if we win we will have to send our moc to Lego? Will we get it back?
It seems like that. But I don’t see any info on if and when you get it back. Something to consider when entering.
Found some info on the contest forum. Other people asked the same question. The rebrick admin said that “you will get your model back when the Lego House is finished with the display. They will borrow your model for around a year”.
Cool contest. Might consider it, but I don’t think we have enough extra lego to lend. Too bad because the contest is neat. Why can’t they just rebuild what the winner builds by sharing the building instructions? Doesn’t lego have enough bricks already?
LOL! Yeah, the LEGO House is FULL of bricks! And yeah, I agree that it is a tough choice for someone with a small to medium collection to part with their LEGO pieces for a full year.
“Make sure your model’s base is between 4×4 studs (64×32 studs in total), ”
I don’t understand this sentence
I was wondering about that too, but after thinking about it, I took that to mean that the base has to be in an increments of 4 studs on all sides, with a maximum of 64×32 studs in total.
