BrickFest™ has become a major event in the AFOL community, with hundreds
of attendees coming each year and the number of visitors growing each year.
BrickJournal will be celebrating BrickFest 2005 with articles and
photos from the displays and the people who were part of this amazing
event, including possibly you.
BrickJournal, in partnership with our friends at No Starch Press, is
extending an invitation for all BrickFest attendees (past and present,
staff and volunteers) to write a short story (no more than 500 words)
on their favorite BrickFest experience. All submissions will be judged by the
BrickJournal staff and the top three stories will be selected to be printed in
the next issue of BrickJournal, as well as win these prizes:
Third prize:
A copy of “The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide” by Allan Bedford
Second
prize: Three LEGO books, including “The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide” plus
“Getting Started with LEGO Trains” by Jake McKee, and “Virtual LEGO” by Tim
Courtney, Steve Bliss, and Ahui Herrera.
First prize: A complete LEGO
Library from No Starch Press, including “The Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide,”
“Getting Started with LEGO Trains,” “Virtual LEGO,” “Jin Sato’s LEGO
MINDSTORMS” and “Joe Nagata’s LEGO MINDSTORMS Idea Book,” plus a No Starch
Press t-shirt.
We are also inviting Significant Others of AFOLs to write a
200-300 word essay on their perspective of BrickFest and the hobby. The staff
will pick the top three essays, which will be published in BrickJournal.
The winners will receive a No Starch Press t-shirt and a No Starch Press book of
their choice.
Entries can be sent directly to contest AT graybricks DOT com
with “Essay Contest” in the title line and deadline for this contest is
September 9, so start writing!
Thanks go to No Starch Press, publisher of “The
Unofficial LEGO Builder’s Guide” and other LEGO books, for providing the
prizes. Check out the complete No Starch Press catalog -- both LEGO books and
other technology-related titles -- at www.nostarch.com
