First Annual Custom Brick Community Building Contest:
Hosted by Brickmania.com and co-sponsored by BrickArms and BrickForge
Hello everyone!
At the urging of friends and supporters I am calling for a community wide
building contest aimed at highlighting custom parts and kit-building within the
LEGO fan community. The purpose of this event is to feature and promote
community-built MOC’s (“My Own Creations”), and in particular those using custom
/ third party / value added parts and instructions. To this end I have also
asked for and received co-sponsorship from my two favorite custom parts
suppliers: BrickArms.com and Brickforge.com, who are also generously providing
contest prizes. The entire month of April is set aside for building (entries
must be registered no later than midnight PST on April 30th) and voting will
take place the first week in May. This will be a COMMUNITY JUDGED event where
each person will be allowed to vote on models in each category plus an over-all
“best in show” winner. The official categories and contest rules are below.
Thanks for participating in this event!
Dan Siskind, founder of Brickmania Custom Kits.
