What do I have to make with Lego?

Using building instructions is NOT allowed. You can make a single object or a composition with multiple models that that tells a story.

Is there any size restriction?

No there is no size restriction, you can make a model of any size.

Can I help my child?

If your child is under the age of 6 years, you may explain the challenge to them. But we request you to not help them in any other way. Do not suggest ideas to them - children are the most creative people, please let them dig within themselves to come up with ideas, even if it seems hard at first. Also let them find Lego pieces by themselves - it will help them be independent and develop their confidence.

Can Duplo, Technic, Mindstorms be used?

Yes! There are about 2,350 different elements in the LEGO range – plus 52 different LEGO colours. You can also use parts from Lego Education sets like Mindstorms, WeDo, Duplo and or from themes sets like StarWars, Ninjago, Technic, Boost, City, Friends, Disney etc.

Can I get a certificate?

Yes, we shall be providing a digital certificate to all participants by email. Winners will get a Certificate of Achievement.

What is the judging criteria?

Note, this is a creativity contest. So there is no right or wrong answer. We want to see the child's interpretation of the theme and their original ideas, not influenced by parents or internet. The submitted models shall be evaluated on these dimensions:

Creativity: How original is it? Does it show out of box thinking?
Story-telling: Does it tell a story, how vivid is it?
Complexity: How complex is it? Does complexity add value?
