Get your Lego Bricks out and your thinking caps on.  We're running a Lego Competition for our Summer Stars Events Programme and we want you to get building. 

The theme of the competition is "The Olympics".  

The Summer Olympics will be taking in place in Paris this year with the Opening Ceremony happening on July 26th.  The programme of the 2024 Summer Olympics will feature 329 events in 32 sports, so this should give you plenty of inspiration for your build. 

Whatever you choose to build it must be an original creation - use of Lego kits is not allowed.

There are 2 age categories for judging. 

  • Category 1: Ages 9-12 or 3rd to 6th Class
