About this Competition
LEGO Ideas invites fans to submit original set designs. Designs that reach 10,000 supporter votes go to an official LEGO review. Winning designs are turned into real commercially sold LEGO sets, and the designer receives 1% of net sales royalties plus $10,000 upfront. Previous winning sets include the Central Perk cafe, NES console, and Motorised Lighthouse.
How to Enter
Build a creative LEGO model using official LEGO pieces. Document it with photos and a description on ideas.lego.com. Promote it to get 10,000 supporter votes. If it reaches the threshold, it enters the official review.
💡 Editor Tips
Community engagement is critical — share your project on LEGO fan forums and social media to gather votes. The concept needs to appeal broadly, not just to hardcore fans.
📊 Odds & Competition
Thousands of submissions reviewed quarterly. Winning is extremely competitive but the prize is extraordinary — ongoing royalties from a real product.
