"The LEGO® Technic challenge - June

Another round of the LEGO® Technic Challenge has launched and we have selected 10 new Finalists for all of you to vote on.

"It seems that wheels were far more popular than Bridges - we have had a very good number of submissions and quite a few very good looking models. We have chosen a number of adult-submitted models for you here, our main reasons for choosing these have been design, alternative and interestingly technical solutions - and of course the use of wheels.

"As always, the adult models, as well as others - will be selected for a full round of voting in a pure Adult-submission finale which will run after the grand finale in October - the winner will receive the same grand-prize as for the current competition, which is the full LEGO® Technic, 2010 Novelty Assortment (all new models in 2010).

"Thank you all for your submissions - stay tuned for the July round!"

Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. I was under the impression that AFOLs could not make submissions for the Lego Technic Challenge. Is the AFOL competition separate from the competition posted on LEGO's website, and is there a monthly competition for AFOL? Where would I find info on the AFOL competition? Or am I just completely wrong about everything?

afols have a own competition. bt there is only one winner this year.
