BrickFest Hosts the “Build the Trust” Adult LEGO Enthusiast’s Model Contest The BrickFest Team is proud to announce its participation in celebrating the LEGO Group’s 50th anniversary of its System of Play by hosting a competition for the adult LEGO enthusiast. The LEGO Group is sponsoring this in conjunction with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which recently designated the LEGO Town Plan, the very first LEGO system range, as historic. The contest is open to BrickFest participants and has two categories: Best LEGO Replica of any of the National Trust’s Historical Sites - Minifigure scale - Micro scale Best Original LEGO Model in Historical Style/Detail - Minifigure scale - Micro scale Those building in minifigure scale will have the opportunity to be part of the 50th Anniversary National Trust Village. Entrants will be judged at BrickFest in Washington, DC August 14. Models will be judged on engineering/construction/detail of design, originality, and creative use of LEGO elements. The judging committee will have a LEGO executive, a LEGO ambassador, an executive from the National Trust and the Graham Gund architect from the National Trust. There will be a finalist chosen from each category. The Grand Prize winner will be designated Champion LEGO Preservationist, and receive a LEGO trophy, a weekend stay in the National Trust Historic Hotel of their choice, and $500 spending money. Finalists will have their model on display at the appropriate National Trust for Historical Preservation site, and all entrants who bring a completed model to BrickFest will receive a certificate of participation from the National Trust for Historical Preservation.

(...) The architectural diagrams are extremely helpful. However, they beg the question is this competition strictly for exteriors or exteriors plus interiors? I'd been planning on doing just exteriors. Kelly (19 years ago, 2-Jul-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
