Design a Cruise Ship Competition

Kingboy · December 30, 2008

It's a little late in the proceedings for this particular contest, but I just happened to find out about it. I haven't yet heard about this one either here on EB (even searched the forums for it) or the other LEGO news sites I frequent, so I thought I'd share it here.

STX Europe is running a contest they are calling the Blockdocker Competition as a promo for an upcoming ship they are building, the Oasis of the Seas. It runs until January 9th, and there are two categories in the competition:

Oasis Category : design a replica to be used as a corporate gift/promo set of the Oasis of the Seas (think Vestas Windmill) using LDD that retails for 60€ or less. Prize is three copies of the set you design and an iPod. Open to 18+ entrants, or younger contestants with parental representation.
Innovative Category : use LDD to design a "cruise ship of the future" to be used as a display model for the Miami Seatrade event. This category is much more open, with merely a length "recommendation" of 150-200 studs. Prize is copy of the model you design and a trip to Miami so that you can build the model for the tradeshow. Open to 18+ entrants only.

Note: I am in no way affiliated with STX, I just thought it was an interesting contest, and thought others might find it so as well. I doubt I'll have a chance to do anything for this, but I'm curious to see what some of the EB crowd might do for it.
