LEGO Theme Bending
GeekyTom has announced a new contest and set up a Flickr group to boot. The title should give you a pretty good idea of what's being asked of you here: Take an official set and give it a twist, fitting it into another genre altogether. The prizes are nothing to sneeze at either, with a V-19 Torrent going to the first-place winner, a Sports Car going to second, and a Le Mans Racer for the third. Entries are due by March 31st, so get bending!

Save The Date!
I don't know about you folks, but it definitely helps me in keeping track of my deadlines to see things visually. To aid you in just that, I've created a Google Calendar with the dates to all announced LEGO contests.
I'm looking for a good way to integrate it with the blog itself. If anyone has any good tips, please leave a comment. I'd love to hear them!

Apparently, It's Not Futile
Join the Resistance
Flickr group The Lego Contest Network is hosting, unsurprisingly, a contest. With a wealthy backstory to direct your creativity, you are asked to build a scene of resistance featuring at least a squad and a vignette. Prizes have not been specified beyond being provided by BrickArms (a common prize these days, apparently). Entries are due by April 1st.
By the way, I was particularly pleased by this entry.

Bumpin' It
The Power of Sound
Music is a powerful thing, folks, and it's time for you to build it in LEGO! The Flickr group Urban Culture and Lego is holding this contest and they want to see mash-up music and whatever ridiculous genre you can. Numerous examples and inspirations are posted in the contest thread, and while the first-place prize has not yet been announced, second and third have. Get your entries in by April 31st!

The Force Compels You
We've got two Star Wars contests to report for you, folks, on FBTB and ToysNBricks.
Create Your Own Star Wars Scene
While the name may be a mouthful, the premise of this contest is simple: build a scene from one of the six Star Wars movies. The catch is that you must build it as if was a LEGO set priced between $24.99 and $29.99. Prizes include a Snowtrooper Battle Pack or a set of equivalent value and a Boba Fett minifigure. Make sure to read Toys N Bricks' general contest rules and get your entry in by March 31st! Thanks to Thunder-Blade for the reminder!
The ASS Model Contest
The name of this contest is certainly, dare I say it, cheeky, and it stands for Alternate Separatist Shuttle. The good folks at FBTB are asking you to take the pieces of 8036 Separatist Shuttle and build something new and wonderful. If it's new and wonderful enough you'll be leaving this contest with a new-in-box 8088 ARC-170 Starfighter. Entries are also due by March 31st.

We Can't Just All Get Along
