The Golden Nerdly is up for grabs!

There is only a little more than a week to enter our “Nerdly Strikes Back” contest! So far we’ve seen some great entries, and we are excited to give away some big prizes and some shiny trophies.

What could you win?

How about $200 in LEGO, a box of super sweet swag, and an exclusive Golden Nerdly trophy for the top prize!? Second and third place will both get trophies, swag, and $100 and $50 in LEGO.

What do you need to do?

Build a Nerdly—any scale, any theme, physical or digital. Make a small one, big one, and theme it however you like! You can check out our first Nerdly Contest from seven years ago for inspiration. Plus, here are the instructions to build our mascot to help get you started.

How do you enter?

Post your entries, as many as you like, in the Nerdly Strikes Back Flickr Group or on Instagram tagged with #NerdlyStrikesBack and #BrickNerd. The deadline is Valentine’s Day, February 14th. (Complete rules below.)

Who will win?

The BrickNerd Team will be the judges and will choose the winners. (We also each made our own Nerdly to help inspire you in this gallery.) So get building and we can’t wait to see what you create!
