Just wanting to thank everyone for putting on this contest! I am in the final stages of finishing an entry as the clock ticks ever closer to the deadline. I haven't been active on the forum in many moons, but I have had a blast working on my entry!

To be transparent, our goal is to have all the judging done by January 15th then have a day to run the numbers and a day to organize the announcements.

Thank you to everyone who built. I hope you had fun.

Good to be back to this hobby. During last year or two I only built these six mocs, and one out of some lot of 80's/90's Lego I got from an auction shop. For whatever I build before them, I would need to go back to year 2008 or 09...

Thanks for all the hard work making this contest possible! Taking part was my childhood dream when I first got into the internet world, long before I registered an account

Transparency update. Judging is complete. The number crunching is complete. We've moved into the phase of making the announcement pages.

This is important: we changed the rules this year about claiming your prize if you won. This was clearly stated on the contest rules page at the opening of the contest.

You have exactly 30 days from the announcement of the winners to provide shipping information to me or the prize is forfeit back to the prize pool or the person/organization who donated it. No staff member will be trying to find that information.

Congratulations to the winners! Incredible builds this year and so much inspiration! I enjoyed participating in my first contest. One small correction is that "Spontaneous Combustion" was my entry for Medieval Maintenance. Thank you!

Congrats to all winners!

I'm happy with my honorable mentions, I did never reach so far before...

Just a question about the honorable mention for medieval maintenance: my entry was the old Town Hall, not spontaneous combustion. Which one did get the honorable mention?
