HOW DOES IT WORK?

Build something completely original using LEGO® bricks. No boxed-set builds. No parent help. We want to see what YOU can create.

Parents will submit exactly 5 photos documenting the build—from the beginning, through the process, to the finished creation—along with the child’s written story about what they created.

📅 SUBMISSIONS CLOSE NOVEMBER 6

Finalists will be selected in each age division and presented to an incredible panel of local judges from across Burke County.
