Brick Comic Network (BCN)’s putting a new twist on the excitement over the Series Two Collectible Minifgures! They’re hosting a contest, where the challenge is to build a vehicle to suit the needs of one of the Series Two Minifigures.
All contest rules can be found here. The deadline for entries is 11:59pm CST on September 19, so get those vehicles built!
Chris Malloy just posted this incredible battle at the bottom of the sea. It’s quite a lovely build. The lighting is exceptional.
Matthew Hurt just posted this nifty island castle. As it is a response to the Primary Color Challenge, on Classic Castle, it has lots of blue. Surprisingly, that gives it a rather elegant flair. I’m liking it.
The good people at GHL are running a contest:
To kick off our marketing and promotion efforts here in the Dominion planet of “Earth”, we at Galactic Handling and Logistics have decided to hold a contest, since the initial brain-scans and surveys have concluded that Terrans are a competitive bunch and best motivated by “free stuff”.
There are two Pro flickr accounts up for grabs and contest closes on the 31st August 2010.
If you’re looking for a good bounty, suit up and enter the MOC Madness Building Tournament hosted by FBTB. Build a bounty hunter and bounty hunter ship and you could win some awesome prizes including a white Boba Fett minifig. Each qualifying entry advances tournament style so you can root for your favorites, or better yet, be the favorite.
The US LEGO Catalog is holding a Design Challenge to find the cover for the Late Holiday Catalog. Entries can be submitted now through August 8th. Enthusiasts ages 5 and older are invited to submit an idea for a new LEGO creation.
Contest Overview:
Develop your new LEGO creation using a maximum of 100 LEGO bricks and/or elements. Then, submit a photo or image of your creation along with a brief description of your creation (50 words or fewer). You may build your creation using physical bricks and elements or you may develop your creation virtually, using LEGO® Design by ME. One Grand Prize winner will be determined in each of the four age categories: ages 5-8, ages 9-12, ages 13-15 and ages 16 and older.The Prizes:
Winner’s creation will be featured in the Late Holiday 2010 edition of the LEGO® Shop-at-Home Catalog issued in November.

(The approximate retail value of each Grand Prize is $200). Sponsor will select, at its sole discretion, one of the winning creations to be featured on the cover of the catalog. There is no monetary value associated with winner’s submission being featured in the catalog or on the cover of the catalog. Prize consists of only those items specifically listed as part of the prize.
Wanna win a white Boba Fett? Eurobricks has just announced this awesome prize for their Epic Scenes Contest that runs from June 1 – 30. The rules are basically this: build a Star Wars scene that’s either 16X16, 32X32, or 48X48. The winner of each category will get this rare minifig.
Peter Norman (swoofty) is offering swag in his latest train building contest: E is for electric. It’s being run in the LEGO Train MOCs group over on flickr. It would be great to see people use this contest to try out their first train designs, or first electric train designs. The contest runs until July 31st so there’s plenty of times to order bricks and get those entries made. If previous contests are any indication CAD should be acceptable too but source files must be provided upon request.
Eurobricks are hosting a contest for models made in LEGO Digital Designer. It has some cool prizes donated by TLG so if you like using the software it’s time to start it running and get building.

This ship is something I whipped together by request in a couple of evenings. I wanted to use lime, as I’m growing fond of that color, and this seemed like a good opportunity. I expect that the insect influence is rather apparent. When my wife saw it, she remarked that it looked like a grasshopper, which is the origin of the ship’s name.
This creation uses under 200 pieces (about 180) and would be a suitable entry for the Put Your Brick Where Your Mouth Is Contest, were I not a judge. There’s still time left before the deadline for you to submit an entry!
Herbie is one of my favorite “movie” cars. Tyler did a perfect job…with the added bonus of PowerFunctions! Lovely, lovely build.
This was built for Lugnuts 30th Challenge, which is inspiring some awesome cars, if you ask me….which of course you didn’t.
Forbidden Cove has posted the winners for their first Jolly Roger Contest! I highly encourage you to head on over and check out the fantastic entries.
