LEGO Ideas has it’s own website, where you can submit a LEGO design and try to accumulate 10,000 supporters of your idea and have your design become an actual LEGO set…
But, there is more to the LEGO Ideas website, you can also submit builds/designs into challenges that are put in place every so often and have a chance to WIN LEGO! (...and they don't have to be extra high quality to win these challenges either).
For example, there is currently a challenge to build a set to be displayed in the actual LEGO House in Billund, Denmark. You can choose to build an entry for one of three categories, either ‘Vintage Transportation’, ‘All Seasons’, or ‘Celebrating Classics’. There will be a minimum of 25 winners, and the grand prize winner of each category will receive 5 LEGO sets!
This is the link to head straight to the current build challenge:
Previous challenges have been a Lord of the Rings themed build (the winners received a signed 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell and a prize package of The Lord of the Rings goodies), building an ideal cabin holiday (winners received 4 different LEGO sets, including the 21338 A-Frame Cabin), an Avatar/Pandora themed build (the grand prize was 9 LEGO Avatar sets and a goodies pack!), and there have been others too.
If you have fun building for the Brick News build competitions, then why not try your hand at these other build challenges too. In fact some aren’t even building with LEGO, one competition required you to draw or design cover art for Dungeons & Dragons without the use of LEGO.
I only just realised they did this build competition stuff myself; I had jumped on the Ideas website to look at the sets that had been submitted with the intent to gain 10,000 supporters to see if there was anything worth supporting to become the next great LEGO set like 21318 Tree House, 21327 Typewriter, 21323 Grand Piano, or some of the other brilliant Ideas sets that are out there.
There are a number of cool Ideas that you could support, here are some images of the sets still looking to get enough support to make it to the next stage to becoming an official LEGO set:
