RULES
- Anyone can enter except the organiser.
- Models must be built from LEGO brand bricks to Minifig or “Classic Town” scale
- Entries must fit into an available category
- Pictures may be produced by photographing or scanning a real model, or using a CAD program.
- CAD entries must be buildable in real life (see below)
- You can enter as many models as you like (no extra votes for entering lots of models).
- Models should be suitable for a modern-era town (1900 to the present) anywhere in the world
- No military models
- No space models (even ones that take off from Earth)
- Entries must not have appeared in any other online contest (including, but not limited to, last year’s Town contest and the recent International System Creativity Contest)
“Classic Town” scale refers to the pre-minifig scale with doors 3-high. The
scale intermediate between Classic and Minifig using 4-high doors is also OK.
Special rules for CAD models
- They can only use elements in colors which have been produced by LEGO (even if rare), and the entrant must be prepared to quote a LEGO set which included the disputed element(s) if challenged.
- Construction must be possible. If challenged, the entrant must be willing to allow a judge to examine the DAT file to confirm whether the model is buildable.
How To Enter
Build a model in minifig or “classic town” scale which fits into one of
these categories:
- Town Layout (more than 4 buildings)
- Diorama (2-4-building scene or natural landscape, smaller than town layout)
- Super-size building (think BIG. 20”, 64 studs or more in at least one dimension, covers two or more 32x32 baseplates)
- Large building (less than 20”, 64 studs in all dimensions, but at least 10”, 32 studs in at least one dimension)
- Medium and small buildings (less than 10”, 32 studs in all dimensions) (previously two categories, combined due to small number of models in each category)
- Fire apparatus (4-8 wide)
- Small vehicles, antique or classic (4-6 wide)
- Small vehicles, modern (4-6 wide)
- Large vehicles (6-8 wide, no bigger)
- Aircraft (minifig scale, non-space)
- Boats and ships
- Bridges (road, rail or canal, minifig scale)
Take or make pictures of it and post them somewhere on the Web,
preferably a Brickshelf Gallery account, but your own webspace is OK too.
I strongly suggest that you put each entry in its own Brickshelf folder and give me the
link to the folder: this allows you to add more/better pictures, and prevents
confusion caused when people look at pics of more than one model in the
same directory.
Send email to Kevin Wilson or post to lugnet.town with the following information:
(Yes, I know it looks funny, but PLEASE cut and paste these lines and use them as a template - it saves me a lot of formatting work when turning your entry into FTX to put on the contest page!)

This is an office building modelled on one down the street from my house.
