The work of Wyndham’s LEGO aficionados will be on display next weekend, with the fourth annual Wyndham Brickfest to be held on June 29 and 30.
The competition, which raises funds for local health initiatives, will take place in the library at Hoppers Crossing Secondary College, with a range of prizes across a range of categories on offer.
Wyndham Brickfest president Andrew Elsbury explained how the competition works.
“People bring along their creations and the collections that they’ve got,” he said.
“They might have some vintage LEGO or a certain type of LEGO they’ve been collecting over the years.”
Mr Elsbury said the competition was open to people of all ages, with children particularly encouraged to get involved.
“We encourage creativity and technical know how of people with varying abilities and model sizes,” he said.
“It’s not about how much LEGO you’ve got, but how you use it.”
Along with the competition, Mr Elsbury said this year’s Brickfest had other attractions too.
“This year we have a new LEGO master coming along along with some familiar faces like Kale from season one of LEGO Masters. He’s iconic. Everyone knows who Kale is if you’re in the LEGO community.”
Money raised from competition and event entry, a raffle and the sale of special Wyndham Brickfest Bricks will go towards general health initiatives in Wyndham rather than a specific cause.
Entries close on Wednesday, June 26, and can be made at www.wyndhambrickfest.com.au
