AWARDS ELIGIBILITY

In order for a creation to be eligible for an award, it must be labeled with a MOC card. If a creation has been at Brick Days previously, it will only be eligible for an award if it has undergone significant modification. Determination of whether modifications are significant is the sole responsibility of the judges.

Judges reserve the right to move a creation to a different category.

JUDGING PROCESS

  • The Brick Days panel of judges, which consists of judges from across the registered attendees, will look at all the creations on Friday evening to determine their top three to four.  Those top three to four per category will be uploaded to the voting form so that all VIB’s and friends & family of the VIB will be able to vote.

  • The Brick Days panel of judges will look at the creations and will select their favorite.

  • All registered attendees, including the guests on public days, are invited to select their favorite creation at Brick Days!
