Competition rules and conditions
Maximum two per team, two adults or one adult and one child (minimum age 10)
Each team member pays a £10 entrance fee, and all relevant paperwork needs to be completed in full.
Competitors will arrive at the museum between 9am and 9.15 am to complete registration and be seated in the build room before 9.30am. If your team cannot compete you must notify the museum as soon as possible so a reserve team can be notified.
Each competitor may bring up 5 mini figures/animals of their choice (Maximum 10 per team). No other Lego may enter the build room.
Competitors will be given a sealed bag/box of bricks, approximately 3.000 bricks, not to be opened until told to. These bricks will have be roughly sorted so each team has a varied amount of pieces.
Competitors will be given a sealed envelope detailing the theme of the build, not to be opened until told to.
When directed competitors may open their bag/box and envelope.
3 hours planning and initial build time. Photos may be taken by competitors of their own builds only to help with planning as they go along. MOCC staff will take photos of the event to be shared on social media after the event ends. One hour before lunch break teams may swap/trade pieces if they wish to do so.
LUNCH BREAK all competitors must leave the build room. No Lego is to leave the room. The room will be locked until the build resumes. During the lunch break team members may discuss their build and any photos that they have taken of their own builds but no one may enter the build room until all competitors are ready to do so.
2 hours build time after lunch break. The recognised Lego expert will ask questions to each team regarding their build. Each build will need a title and statement once complete.
During the afternoon session members of the public will be admitted to view the competition in action.
Teams may use any number of the bricks provided. The bricks provided will be vintage, random and no team will have the same configuration of bricks. One hour before lunch break teams may swap/trade pieces if they wish to do so.
The challenge will be to create a build that represents an interpretation of the theme.
At the end of the build all competitors/spectators leave the room for the judging panel to view the builds.
The judging panel will score each build on:
Story telling
Aesthetics and composition
Technical ability
Scores will be added and verified. In the event of a scored draw the head judge, a recognized Lego expert, will have the final decision.
First, second and third places will be announced.
