Art is incredibly subjective, but what is art to you? The LEGO Ideas team is running a new contest, challenging LEGO fans to build their own art piece with LEGO bricks. This sounds like a fun contest where you can use your creativity to the utmost. And the prizes are amazing! Below is the announcement from the LEGO Ideas team about the contest, as well as other details.
“Show us what art means to you, using LEGO bricks. It can be anything you like, so long as it’s the best work of art you can make! You must also be able to build your model physically, because the winning entries will be displayed in the new LEGO Campus in Billund, Denmark! Failure to build your model physically if you’re chosen as a winner, means you will be disqualified. For this contest, we don’t have specific element requirements. But the judges are looking to display this artwork. So things that are absolutely tiny, or absolutely massive may not be selected as winners.”
The contest will consist of 3 phases: 1.) Submission Phase – Build and submit your entry before November 3rd, 2020 at 6:00 a.m. EST. 2.) Judging Phase – LEGO Ideas judges review the entries and choose the winners by November 12th, 2020. 3.) Winners Announcement – The grand prize winner and two runner up winners be announced on LEGO Ideas no later than November 19th, 2020.
If you would like to enter this contest, here are the steps: 1.) Submissions may be in either physical bricks or by using a digital building tool such as LEGO Digital Designer. You’re welcome to use image editing tools, such as Photoshop, to enhance your photos/presentation. If you submit a digital entry, you must make sure that you are able to build your entry in physical bricks in case your build is selected to be exhibited in the LEGO Campus. 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 the contest entry page.

You are allowed to use any official LEGO element (LEGO System, LEGO DUPLO, LEGO Technic/Constraction) in your entry. The LEGO elements must be genuine (not cut, glued, or otherwise modified).
