LEGO Contest: Scenes for the Corner Garage

Brickcentral is currently running a fun contest for LEGO fans! Brickcentral is an online community that runs themed photography challenges, features creative photos, and shares shooting tips for LEGO photographers. Brickcentral is also part of the LEGO Ambassador Network as a Recognized LEGO Online Community. Below are the contest details.

Brickcentral is giving away a #10264 LEGO Creator Corner Garage set as the prize for their Scenes for the Corner Garage photo contest. The LEGO photography community is inviting LEGO photographers on Flickr, Instagram, and Twitter to submit a creative photo, depicting a scene that’s related to any of the floors of the #10264 LEGO Creator Corner Garage building; the 1950s style gas station and mechanic garage on the ground floor, the animal clinic on the second floor, or the apartment with rooftop access on the third floor. With all these different spaces there’s a lot of storytelling potential for LEGO photographers! (Hint: Brickcentral recently published a really good article on storytelling tips for LEGO photographers.)

Please note that scenes don’t have to be limited to things that might happen in the LEGO Creator Corner Garage building. Think outside the building! Tow trucks go out to service vehicles, and vets make house calls too! And, of course, you don’t have to own the set to be able to participate in the contest. It’s LEGO – use your imagination! (The contest page shows some great examples for possible contest entries.)

To enter the Scenes for the Corner Garage contest, take a photo of your creation and post it to your Instagram, Flickr, or Twitter account. There are some very specific instructions for posting and properly tagging your images, so make sure you read the rules at the Brickcentral contest page.

You can enter as many photos as you like until the contest ends on June 30, 2019 at 22:00 EST. After that, the Brickcentral mod team will be judging entries based on creativity, originality, and in accordance with the theme on the contest. The contest winner will be announced at the Brickcentral contest page by July 2, 2019, and will receive the #10264 LEGO Creator Corner Garage set as the prize! You can find more information about the contest at the Brickcentral contest page.

As mentioned above, you do not have to own the #10264 LEGO Creator Corner Garage to enter this contest, however, if you are not familiar with the set, it can be helpful to look at pictures. We reviewed the set here (LEGO Creator Corner Garage Review & Speed-Build), and you can also check it out at the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like this LEGO contest? Do you have the LEGO Creator Corner Garage? How do you like it? And do you have some ideas already of what you would build for the contest? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!

LEGO Film: AFOL – A Documentary

There is a really nicely done documentary by Solid Brix Studios that was recently shared at the LEGO Ambassador Network. LEGO is mostly known for kids to imagine and play with, but what about adults? LEGO is one of the most iconic toys that have lasted through the decades, especially for adult fans who dedicate their time, money, and passion to the hobby. AFOL – A Documentary features a diverse group of builders from across the United States, Canada, and Denmark and will explore what it means to be an adult fan of LEGO.

AFOL – A Documentary is a 19-minute long film, giving a glimpse into the life of adult LEGO fans via interviews and footage from various LEGO conventions, exhibits, LEGO User Group meetings, and private LEGO rooms. Kevin Hall from Solid Brix Studios shared that over a year’s worth of work went into producing the video. It is beautifully filmed and edited and is a pleasure to watch. See below.

LEGO fans featured in the video share their projects via LEGO fan conventions, social media, YouTube, LEGO User Group events, museums, hospitals, and more. Here are the links to their online profiles (whenever available), in case you want to check out their other work: Kevin Hinkle, Robert Murphy, Joshua Hanlon, Matthew Fanelli, Frederik Rabol Madsen, Jhaelon Edwards Smith, Palle & Tina Haulrich, Kat Harris, Nathaniel Stoner, and Sacha Erhardtsen.

What do you think? How did you like this LEGO documentary about adult LEGO fans? Do you have similar experiences as an AFOL?  Are you considered a nerd by your friends and family? Do you belong to a LEGO User Group, go to conventions, etc. or prefer to enjoy the hobby by yourself? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!
