Lego Exhibition & Competition

All profits to Reuben’s Retreat and Rotary Foundation

Competition Rules:

We are pleased to announce that the Rotatory Club of Glossop are hosting an event comprising a display of unique and varied LEGO
models and the sale of LEGO sets, parts and accessories.  In conjunction LEGO Model Building Competitions are taking place.
This contest will be for 3 age groups and to enter you will need to bring along your own model to the event.  With a legal guardian you need to register the model (a title / description of the model, a name of the builder, a contact number, and the age group for the entry). 
It will then go on display for the duration of the event.  Apart from entry to the event, there is no charge for your submission.
The age categories are:
Category 1 - aged 5 to 7                theme:  make a safari / jungle animal (for our Zoo)
Category 2 - aged 8 to 11              theme:  make a shop (for our High Street)
Category 3 - aged 12 to 16            theme:  make something that represents the word 'playtime'
The judge will be Robert Clarkson, an experienced LEGO builder who is co-hosting the event.  He has told us: "I want to see well designed, sturdy models that show the creativity and skill of the builder. They must be their own work and should be based on the theme allocated to each age group.  What will really influence me is that 'wow' factor that can inspire others".  All submissions must abide to the rules (see below)
The models will be displayed throughout the day of the event and the winning models will be announced at 15:30.  They will receive a prize.  All models and prizes are to be collected after 15:30
Rules: (Note, entries not complying with these rules will result in disqualification)
1. Models must not be wider than 48x48 studs (or 38cm x 38cm) and no higher than 38cm with all parts, including the base, constructed
entirely from official LEGO elements. The model must be the design and work of the participant and not a copy from any instructions of either existing sets or sets no longer in produced, or rom models produced by someone else (e.g. on the internet).  The model must not be glued or contain any LEGO elements that have been cut, altered or defaced.
2. All models should follow these guidelines:
* Be Child Safe / Appropriate - entries should be of models appropriate for children
* Avoids restricted content - the model should not include any content that (either deliberately of inadvertently) promotes violence.  For example, weapons, depictions of conflict or violence, or cruelty to others
* Avoid licensed products (e.g. Star Wars, Marvel Superheroes).
3. The model must be brought in with the child or young person who designed and constructed it. Adults are requested to avoid from contributing to the design or build of the model and are asked to respect that the decision of the judge is final.
4. The competition offers no cash alternative and the legal guardian of the child / young person taking part is the only person who can agree to the rules and submit an entry in their behalf.
5. The judge might want to ask questions about the models construction in order to aid judging, so it may be required that the builder be
questioned about the build.
