[DLuders]

As JunkStyleGio and Mahjqa already noted on a recent post, the May 2010 Lego TECHNIC Challenge theme is "Bridges": http://technic.lego.com/en-us/competition/default.aspx .

"Take the Technic Challenge - Bridges!This is the LEGO® Technic Challenge competition! - here you have a chance at showing the LEGO Technic designers your designs and your abilities with the Technic elements.

"The competition is very simple

1. Build a model out of primarily LEGO Technic elements.

2. Take a picture of the model

3. Press the button below to Enter the competition

4. Enter your contact information

5. Upload your image

"What to build?

This month (May) the competition is all about Bridges – Build a bridge, using LEGO® Technic pieces – Bridges come in all shapes and sizes all around the world, carrying cars, trains, people and more.

The Bridge can be of any type or shape – but it must be able to stand by itself and a section of the road/other must be above ground.

"How does it work?

Right now you can submit models - On the 17th of May - a panel of judges consisting of designers, marketing managers, building instruction artists and more will pick out (of all submissions) 10 finalists that will then be put up for voting here on the site. Considerations for the Nominees will be based on Model, Design, build to theme and age.

"The winner will receive a prize and also continue to the Big Finale in October."

New Challenge available!!!!

*NXT-controlled stuff (anything goes)

*Bridges, Towers and Cranes
