LEGO Contest Round-Up for June 2024
/
[Our current monthly LEGO contest round-up can be found here.]
A new month is upon us which means more competitive building! Are you ready? Here’s the latest bunch of LEGO contests and challenges from all around the AFOL community for June 2024 to help you find some inspiration and motivation to build! There’s nothing quite like a theme or a prompt to take you out of your comfort zone and give you something new to try. Besides, contests are the perfect place to interact with other contestants and judges and get to know your fellow builders. And if you’re like me, a deadline helps make sure you actually finish!
We’ve listed them in order of deadline so you can plan your building time to the best advantage. Make sure to check the LEGO activity calendar for local challenges and events near you. Here at BrickNerd, some of our fondest memories, greatest building achievements, coolest trophies, and best friendships came from LEGO contests, so we really hope you try some of these out. We look forward to seeing what you build!
Tell us all about the in-game world and lore. What’s the story behind the villagers? Where do they come from? Why are there three biomes in your world? Why is there a Shark Ship Skeleton in the middle of a desert? There are so many questions within LEGO Fortnite and we’re asking you to give us your answers. Build your own storyline with in-game creations and tell us what future awaits players in LEGO Fortnite.
All you need to do to participate is to create a profile on LEGO World Builder and start creating your world. Flesh it out with in-game screenshots or original images. Five different creators’ worlds/stories will be chosen and turned into a series of YouTube videos and cash prizes!
Deadline: June 5th
Prize: $3,500
