LEGO is running a really fun contest on the official LEGO Architecture Facebook Page. The contest is creative, interesting, easy enough for anyone to participate, and the prizes are excellent. Below you can find the official announcement and all details on how to enter the LEGO Architecture “Fill-The-Gap” Competition! Good luck everyone! 🙂
Join our new competition! Today we launch our “Fill-The-Gap” building competition. Every month you’ll have the chance to win lots of cool LEGO Architecture prizes. Here is what you have to do:
- Find an empty space in the town or city where you live and fill it with creative ideas created from LEGO bricks in white and/or transparent. It could be a house, a bridge, a concert hall, a school or even a space-age skate-park!
- Shoot a picture and share it with us on Facebook or Instragram with #FillTheGap. A special panel of judges will select the most interesting creation every month.
The prizes every month are: 1.) 2015 LEGO Architecture sets shipped directly to the winner when released, 2.) #21050 LEGO Architecture Studio set, and 3.) the book “LEGO Architecture: The Visual Guide”.
➡ HOW TO ENTER: So, just to make this clear from the announcement above, you build something from white and/or transparent LEGO elements and photograph them in an empty space in your neighborhood. As it is mentioned, and as you can see on the example images, this could be a house, a bridge, or anything that feels the gap creatively. Once you are done, you upload your photo to either the LEGO Architecture Facebook Page or to Instragram, using the hashtag #FillTheGap. This of course means that you have to have a Facebook or Instagram account to begin with. Also, please note that you must use the hashtag for your entry to count and be eligible for winning, so don’t forget to add it.
➡ WHAT ARE THE RULES: Besides the how rules on how to enter (mentioned above), there is not a whole lot more. There is no limitation of the amount of different images an individual person can enter, so you can upload as many photos as you like. There is no restriction on where you are located either, so you should be able to enter from any country. You can read the detailed rules here: Contest Terms & Conditions
➡ HOW TO WIN: This LEGO Architecture contest runs from January 15 to April 12, 2015, and three winners are selected each week.
