Lifelike and colorful, beautifully capturing the elegance and flow of a rearing horse, this Winged Hussar is a great harmony of motion and metal. The ornate spear’s flowing flag, his feathered wings and the flow of the horse tail are all great examples of lifelike design!

A masterful study by Jaskier – and a well-deserved win!

Andreas gifted us a captivating immersive scene, showing a merchant with the most wondrous headpiece transporting goods to a market. The sun is burning down on the strong animal pulling the cart, masterfully sculpted, the fur soft and its horns impressive.

A touch of the exotic, Andreas Lenander’s scene won over the judges – and a well-deserved second place. Congratulations!

Poor Rafael was stumbling through all the categories this year, but none of the destinations of his trip were as grand and impressive as this one:

An ornate carpet the size of a Summer Joust category, tall bookshelves containing the secrets of the orient and mosaics from floor to celing – Marcel V.’s Library of Barqa is a location where one could get lost for hours if not days.

A submission grander than it’s carpet, this masterful vignette scored a well-deserved first place!

Few entries managed to feel as athmospheric and as inviting as this gathering of friends over tea. Taj: Brick Minstrel captured the warmth of a cozy evening masterfully.

With tasteful lighting and beautiful textures, this tale of companionship wowed us all – congratulations!

Looming high above its challenger, this rock golem means business – and this fight won’t be easy!

Its challenger is brave, the cape wailing in the wind, with a pair of weapons ready to find a target. But will they make an impact? Bringing scissors to a rock fight sure was a choice – in this case though it made greenarj a winner!

Fitting that this submission was inspired by the classic Fright Knights – all there is to oppose the menacing giant is a puny flag of truce. What a fun take on this category!

Congratulations, Simulterious!

The billowing green smoke might have been a sign: This skeleton crew might have a bone to pick with us. Clad in black, with ghostly lanterns, a scythe, and other stabby bits, this band of reanimated foes is anything but spineless.

Simulterious hired a necromancer, and a good one at that – congratulations for a well-deserved first place!

A rag-tag group of goblins, armed to the teeth, with armor clearly collected from a variety of decomposing foes – not a sight a wandering huntsman might want to see. But our judges, oh, they were here for this bumbling crew and their scorceress!

The queen is back, and we are so glad – congratulations, Aurore, for a well-deserved second place!

Straight out of a confectionary’s nightmare, this viper is a frosted donut come to life:

Slithering through the frosted valley, with imposing fangs and piercing red eyes, BigBrickStan’s serpentine friend surely put fear into many a gingerbread knight. Or bakers, considering its scales would make for a year’s supply of sprinkles!

What a tasty treat – congratulations to a well-deserved first place!

Ruling with an iron first a rock-hard lollipop, don’t mistake King Syze to be as sweet as the throne he sits on! Framed by a minty beard, his stern face chronicles the many tough decisions that ruling over the land of marshmallow meadows and lollipop lakes brings with it.

A well-deserved second place for a tasty character build! Congratulations, mrmaxxwell!

Our winning entries are a tale of mice and magic – but also turtles, croissants and big beards!

NPU-loaded to the brim, this delightful tale of a scheming witch and wizard executing a heist on the local treasury is a masterclass in brickbuilt characters, larger-than-minfigure interior design and – above all – expert storytelling. Who’d knew you could command an army of mice to push gold coins into a conveniently placed portal, right under the nose of the guardsmen?

A spectacular heist – and a truly worthy first place in our collaborative category!

JimBaggins is no stranger to the connoisseur of LEGO colors – a master at work, he seemingly wields LEGO bricks like painters use paint brushes. This spectacular gradient of grays and the delectable color pallet for the furniture wowed the judges and spectators alike.

Congrats, JimBaggins, for now you can call yourself a „Cerulean Count“!

A rooster is a colorful fellow and while this one displays a dazzling array of colors, the pieces FS Leinad used to sculpt his cocky friend make this one stand out: A frog and a parrot for the open beak, a Hero Factory lion mask for its hackle, and feathers, wings, and other fun pieces hidden throughout the rest of the build made this one stand out to the judges.

Congrats, FS Leinad, for now you can call yourself an „Elemental Sorcerer“!

Of Mice and Magic was a show-stopping collaboration this year – fitting that one of its parts would win the „Best Storytelling“ award as well: mmargini’s half of the heist has it all – emotive characters, magical elements that connect both entries and a write-up that wowed the judges.

Congrats, mmargini, for now you can call yourself a „Royal Poet“!

And then he returns, the glorious hero, the Dragonslayer, the Iron Builder, to maybe simply show that the medium doesn’t matter: With his delightful froggy hero, standing tall on his mushroom-flocked fallen tree, ready to fend off foes and the competition, danko is back, delighting with the whimsy and smart piece usage that he’s known for.

A delightful entry completely deserving of this first place – congratulations!

When life’s against you and the pieces don’t arrive in time, maybe it’s time to go digital. At least that’s what gGhost thought, and boy was it worth it: With wonderful colors and textures and beautiful geometries his tribute to German poet Heinrich Heine wowed us all.

Technically outstanding with a poetic inspiration to match, this is a worthy second place – congratulations!
