Best of the Brick Contest Winners!

In December, Strong National Museum of Play^® challenged you to build interlocking brick sculptures—and the call was overwhelmingly answered! In fact, you built and uploaded photos of so many creative entries—from castles and spaceships to monsters and submarines—that the final choices were hard ones to make.

Strong’s panel of judges tallied up 1,759 votes cast for 127 entries in three age categories: 8 years and younger, 9–15 years, and 16 years and older. Four winners emerged (with a tie in the 9–15 age category).

Enjoy the winning sculptures, and see the other creative entries in the Best of the Brick Gallery. And don’t miss the opportunity to visit the two LEGO^®-inspired exhibits now open at Strong—The Art of the Brick (open until March 14) and LEGO^® Castle Adventure (open through May 9).
