Are you a fan of the LEGO Architecture series? Do you have a bit (or a lot!) of LEGO-architect blood ink running in your veins? Then you will love this LEGO contest over at EuroBricks! Check it out below! 😛

➡ THE CHALLENGE: With the recent release of LEGO Architecture sets, including many landmark buildings from around the world, EuroBricks is challenging LEGO fans to create a LEGO rendition of an iconic building or landmark in the style of the existing LEGO Architecture series.

The current LEGO Architecture line consists of two styles: the Architect Series features notable designs by famous architects – examples include Fallingwater, Robie House, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; the Landmark Series consists of world-famous buildings, often rendered in micro-scale, such as the Empire State Building, Brandenburg Gate, and Burj Khalifa.

The contest is about creating a LEGO rendition of a real, iconic building in either of these styles. Ideally it would be a building from your locality, but judges will accept any real building, structure or monument, so long as it remains true to the overall LEGO Architecture style.

➡ THE RULES: Entries should be new (never posted anywhere previously) and similar in style and size to the official LEGO Architecture sets. All entries are to include only real LEGO. No clone-brands, 3rd party parts, or digital entries allowed. Decals will be allowed if you’ve made them yourself, but no cutting, sculpting or modifying parts. The exception to this is flex-tube, which can be cut to the desired length. More rules can be found here: LEGO Architecture Contest Rules.

➡ THE PRIZES: 1st Prize: #21010 Robie House. 2nd prize: You get a maximum budget of 150 Euro (~198 US$) to buy sets on shop.lego.com.
3rd prize: You get a maximum budget of 50 Euro (~66US$) to buy sets on shop.lego.com. 4th Prize: #21012 Sydney Opera House. 5th Prize: #21011 Brandeburg Gate.

➡ THE DEADLINE: Entries must be posted by midnight GMT, April 8, 2012, so you have a bit more then a couple of weeks to enter.
