Fabuland? thank you...
Bendy arm big people too?
microscale?

Would this be one vote per catergory?
How about some across the board awards ?
best use of color
most unexpected/creative/novel use of an element
overall favorite
best use of flora
most dramatic
most humorous
best interior design
best nonvehicular use of wheels

Garden/natural landscape category?
Amusement park category?
Public buildings like libraries and schools?
Any age groupings?
Some people may wish to participate, but may not want to compete. Perhaps
this could be an option also? Exhibition without being *judged*.
[Or maybe this is the solution for nonminifig scale creations, exhibition
only. If all non minfig scale creation are lumped together that would place
a novice like me in the same group as Gary Istok - how fair would that be ;-) ?]
