As we discussed previously, LEGO is now running all contest for teen and adult LEGO fans via the LEGO Ideas platform. There are still a few more days left to enter the LEGO Ideas Voltron contest (you can read about the contest here: LEGO Ideas Voltron Building Contest!), and a couple of days ago, the LEGO Ideas team announced a new contest challenging LEGO fans to capture an amazing family moment in the life of The Incredibles. Below are the details on the contest. 🙂
➡ LEGO THE INCREDIBLES CONTEST – OVERVIEW: What’s it like to be part of a super family? It’s probably very rewarding and satisfying to use that super strength, elasticity, invisibility or super speed to help those in need around you! Whatever it might be, the LEGO Juniors team wants you to build and show off your idea of a day in the life of Disney Pixar’s The Incredibles!
➡ LEGO THE INCREDIBLES CONTEST – HOW TO ENTER: 1.) Build your amazing family moment using LEGO elements or a digital building tool like LEGO Digital Designer. You’re welcome to use image editing tools, such as Photoshop, to enhance your photos/presentation. 2.) Take up to five photos of your creation and submit them to the contest. Make sure to show off all angles and any features or functions of your creation. 3.) Add a title and short description. 4.) Upload your entry to the contest using the blue Submit Your Entry button on this page.

This is another very interesting contest worth checking out. Especially if you are a fan of The Incredibles. If you need some inspiration, you can browse through the entries already submitted at the contest entry page, or take a look at the LEGO Disney Incredibles sets at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.

That’s a good challenge! My son has one of the sets so we might give this a try. I don’t know if it will be good enough to enter the contest, but it’s still fun.
Just do the best you can, and if you feel inspired, enter the contest. If not, enjoy the fun! 😀
I think they are focusing too much on themes or existing sets in some of these contests. I would like a generic castle contest, or spaceship contest, or something like that.
Hm… I did notice myself that there are much less contests by LEGO forums and fan sites these days than in the past. It could very well be because LEGO ReBrick/Ideas have been running so many contest. Also, there has been significant changes in regulations in who can run contests and how. I wouldn’t be surprised if LEGO fan communities found it too daunting of a task to comply with the milliards of rules from governments around the world.
I agree with you though, that contests contests run by AFOLs were often very creative.
I checked the contest page and there are some great entries already. If any of you guys plan to enter, I recommend you check out the competition. 😀
Snooping out the competition is always a good idea! 😀
I liked the rebrick site better than the revamped ideas site. And I don’t think it’s a good idea to run contests on the same site as the ideas projects. They are different endeavors and the contest can take away people’s attention from browsing through the projects and voting. Just look at their front page. The top posts are about contests and something about the lego house.
Tony, that’s a good point. The transition just happened recently, so I’m sure they will keep an eye on how it effects both contests and LEGO Ideas projects. It will be interesting to see what other adjustments they make.
