Week Two Winners!

We had a ton of phenomenal entries this week! The winners are selected from each age group by summing the total of their top three scores. (Side note, Google sheets has a function called LARGE that is super helpful for this). You can review the full rules here.

0-5 Winner: Isaiah

Isaiah submitted lots of action packed scenes with tons of details, such as Tuesday's Ninja Attack! Total score: 71.5

6-9 Winner: Nelson

Nelson large minifig-scale builds builds with lots of story details that made me smile. My biggest grin of the week came when I realized this crane was holding a teddy bear. Total score: 87

10-18 Winner: Anders

Anders consistently turned in polished, LEGO-official caliber designs, such as Tuesday's Green Building. Total score: 80.5

You can see all of this week's entries here.

Next week starts on Monday with theme: Inside Out

LEGO Competition Week 2 Day 5

First of, as with all of you, my situation is evolving as events unfold. The contest continues, but I've realized I don't have the bandwidth to continue scheduled live judging.

I will continue to post daily topics, judge submissions, and award prizes through the end of next week (April 3rd). I'll post reactions sporadically, I know the kids like hearing what I think :)

Also, tomorrow's theme is: Upside down!

Here's one of my favorites from today's theme, Adventure is out there!

LEGO Competition Week 2 Day 4

I ended up doing a late judging session today because the submissions were just too good! Here's one of my favorites, can you guess the book?

LEGO Competition Week 2 Day 3

Wednesday's theme is: Scene from a Book!

No live judging on Wednesday, but I'll be back on Thursday!

Here's a gorgeous entry from today's theme: green building.

LEGO Competition: Week One Winners!

I am happy to announce our week one winners! Winners were selected based on the sum of their top two scores from the week. Full scores here.

Ages 0 to 5: Pepper

Pepper consistently packed her builds with stories and details, as shown in Thursday's "Doople Party"
Total score: 49

Ages 6 to 9: Violet

Violet's builds are polished and well thought through. She clearly has a broad LEGO skillset, including automated builds (Wednesday's space Winnebago) and action scenes (Thursday's police station escape).
Total score: 55

Ages 10 to 18: Thomas and Henry

Thomas and Henry were one of a few teams that competed this week (teams are categorized based on the oldest member). On Friday they gave us an unexpected spin on a classic western theme with "Food Wars," a battle of hot dogs versus corn dogs.
