LEGO Ideas challenge celebrates the wonder of Japanese culture

The wonder of Japanese culture is being celebrated in the latest LEGO Ideas challenge, which has just been officially announced.

A new LEGO Ideas challenge has been revealed, following hot on the heels of the recent LEGO 2K Drive and Ultimate Space Exploration contests. This time, the proceedings head to the Far East, with a competition that aims to celebrate the fascinating culture of Japan and the feeling of Zen.

LEGO Ideas is challenging creative types to submit builds based around Japanese tranquil scenes, technology, tradition, art, nature and more. Entries can be in physical brick form or as digital designs, with a closing date of September 19, 2023 at 6am EST. The competition will then move to the judging phase, where all entries will be reviewed and winners chosen by October 3. The full results of who will be receiving an impressive selection of prizes will be announced no later than October 10.

One Grand Prize winner will walk away with copies of 10315 Tranquil Garden, 21060 Himeji Castle, 10311 Orchid, 10313 Wildflower Bouquet, 31208 Hokusai – The Great Wave, 10281 Bonsai Tree, 76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) and 76901 Toyota GR Supra. In addition, two runners-up will each be rewarded with 10315 Tranquil Garden, 21060 Himeji Castle and 10281 Bonsai Tree.
