Klementina Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) With Valentine's Day approaching, Klementina is organizing an international contest named "Be My Brickentine" - Men's Contest 2011.

Love can be expressed in different ways: through songs, gifts, love letters, etc. Be creative, build the most original seductive or love story. Show us your seductive capacities, what you would do to win her heart. Prove that love can be expressed through bricks as well!

Skalldyr Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 1. Only men are allowed to compete, no women will be allowed to enter the contest. Haha, great! The whole thging sounds great! Maybe I can get something together... Quote
Syn Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 alright! I think I can do this one, so we just make our creations and post a new thread with Be My Brickentine as the title? this will be my first time entering a contest. Quote
L@go Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 This will be my first time entering a contest. Mine, too. I love the idea for this contest, plus it's a men-only thing. Of course I have to participate :) I have a nice idea and just placed a BL order... we'll see what comes out of it! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Winning the hearts of females? I ain't a Ladies' Man for nothing! Interesting contest idea, I might give this a go. Thanks for sharing this announcement to EB Klementina! Now to get to some serious planning and building. I got a reputation to uphold. Quote
Iysk Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Interesting, my first time entering a contest as well. So we can use technic pieces too right? Quote

dr_spock Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 This sounds like a difficult contest. Romance is hard. :-) Do you have to be a real man or can boys and male teens enter too? Any age restrictions? Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Okay, I might give this a go.....I already have something in mind and the song 'Flame Trees' by Cold Chisel is flowing through my mind right now as I type this. MOCpages eh ? Good, I post my MOC's there too ! Anyone else thinking if trying eh ? Brick On Everyone ! Quote
Klementina Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Do you have to be a real man or can boys and male teens enter too? Any age restrictions? ..no age restrictions, Quote
prateek Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Time to enter this contest... I have an MOC ready, but I'll wait to see the rest of the competition Edited January 11, 2011 by prateek Quote
Enpaz Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I'll enter it. - Ladies, prepare to go Awwww! soon! Quote
dragunov Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Can I enter, even though I'm a hopeless romantic? Quote
Hinckley Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Advertising contests for other sites must be approved through the staff. I'll leave this in Community where we normally let our members advertise other site's contests. Thanks. Quote
JimBee Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 No amount of minifigs is worth showcasing my romantic side to the whole world! Probably won't be joining this one due to lack of time and current involvement in other projects, but the prize is tempting. I'll be interested to see what my fellow builders have to cook up. Quote
Lasse D Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 This contest has sure garnered a lot of attention. But am I the only one who sees a problem with gay rights vs "1. Only men are allowed to compete, no women will be allowed to enter the contest." Eurobricks is annoyingly PC when it comes to "Happy Holidays" and similar, so this just strikes me as odd. Quote
Etzel Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 This contest has sure garnered a lot of attention. But am I the only one who sees a problem with gay rights vs "1. Only men are allowed to compete, no women will be allowed to enter the contest." Eurobricks is annoyingly PC when it comes to "Happy Holidays" and similar, so this just strikes me as odd. Well, for the first it's not a Eurobricks Contest, but held by Klementina privately at MOCpages and Flickr and she can of course have whatever rules she want. Secondly, although one can think that all contest should be open for all, I also think it's a fun concept that the male LEGO fans out there should try and get in touch with their romantic side. If some girls feel left out I guess they just have to wait for another contest, I'm sure someone will have a only-girls contest if there is enough demand. Quote
Syn Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 can we photoshop a different background? I know it says "Basic photoshop- cutting out of backgrounds" but doesn't say if we can put another background in? Quote
Klementina Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 can we photoshop a different background? I know it says "Basic photoshop- cutting out of backgrounds" but doesn't say if we can put another background in? Yes, you can put another background. Quote
