I just received an exciting announcement from LEGO. It seems that their design team is accepting submissions for ideas in something like a contest. It seems like one person will get to work with LEGO Designers to develop their idea into an official theme.
Find the full text of the announcement from LEGO, after the break.
So, that is where you come in!
An invitation to your imagination
We would like to invite you to
pitch your great idea for a big
story or strong products for 7-9
year old boys.
Use your own fantasy and not build
on established universes (like
Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc.)
Things to consider…
The following questions should be
answered in words and/or images:
What is the world?
Who are the good guys?
Who are the bad guys?
Why do they fight?
What do the models look like?
What to submit?
As a minimum, please use the template to answer the
following points:
• A short and catchy headline/theme name
• 50-100 words story premise.
