Fun LEGO Contest: Mind That Banana!

Popular LEGO fan site, NewElementary.com is running a fun building contest in celebration of the awesome new elements in the #77072 LEGO Fortnite Peely Bone set. New Elementary focuses on interesting LEGO parts, so this is the perfect contest for their readers and followers. The contest is titled “Mind That Banana!” and the prizes are some of the new LEGO Fortnite sets.

HOW TO ENTER:

• Build an original creation using at least one LEGO banana element in your build.
• This can be any of the three elements representing bananas.
• You MUST NOT use any of your banana elements to represent a banana! All bananas must be used to represent something else.

Judges will be looking for imagination, creativity, and cleverness in your use of bananas as non-bananas, and the quality of your building and presentation will also play a smaller part in the judging. Size doesn’t matter, it’s what you do with your bananas that counts! Here are the three permitted banana pieces:

You don’t have to use every kind of banana element in your creation, one of the three is enough. You may be less familiar with the new banana bunch piece since it only appears in three sets. Here’s a closer look at it:

And you can use all the different colors of bananas:
