Thanks for the kind words. I agree with you that the idea the Lego company has
with regards to creating other sets would be a good one, given the substantial
number of very nice creations that did not win. It would be nice to see some of
my designs actually created. I had thought about maybe turning some of my
designs into custom sets myself, but after going back over the contest rules, it
looks like I can’t legally do it as all entries (not just the winning ones)
become property of TLG. However, that doesn’t mean I may not come up with some
different ones, not being limited to the 16x16 stud base anymore, or a certain
brick palette.

I actually voted for the pirate ship model but I have to agree with you that
it is both wrong and suspicious that that person won for four entries.
It was wrong, as you said, to allow one person to win more than once. It is
suspicious that out of all the amazing creations (your library, waterfall and
mountain scene in particular I LOVED) that four models by one builder would
be chosen.
What this points to, I would suggest, is the flaw of internet-based contests.
This kid probably had lots of friends or relatives who went on a email spree
saying “vote for this”. Now, while this is not against any rules it kind of
highlights the need for the “one per entrant” rule above.
The good news is that they may actually implement the “cafepress” style of
set creation which means I could buy, from LEGO, your cool models and you
would get a small royalty! Please say you will sign up if they do it.
