Colossal Castle Contest V
CC Team 28 X 07
The CC Team is proud to announce our fifth annual building contest: The Colossal Castle Contest V.
It will begin on November 1st and end on December 31st, 2007.
This contest is a bit different than other contests.
We have a variety of categories each with one prize for the winner.
Some categories require small creations and others need larger ones.
Everyone, even with a limited supply of bricks, should be able to enter several categories.
We are looking for creativity, not who has the most LEGO.
Check out the prizes.
Seven Classic Castle sets including the famed Knight's Challenge and Dark Forest Fortress are prizes.
There are are also rare accessories, custom farm animals, and new castle sets.
It truly is colossal!
Thank you to LEGO, Brickforge, Rich Stehnach, and Ben Ellermann for donating prizes.
The rules can be found here. Enjoy!
