Nerdvember 2024 Contest: Animation Edition

November has arrived which means BrickNerd is celebrating our annual Nerdvember Contest where you can reimagine our mascot Nerdly to win some amazing prizes! We’ve done a high fantasy theme and a survival theme. This year, we are feeling a bit more… energetic. Welcome to Nerdvember 2024: Animation Edition!

CONTEST

We want you to get creative with our mascot Nerdly (here are basic instructions as a PDF download) and customize it to an animated character or scene of your choosing. We’re looking for the best that animation has to offer!

Will you make something classic from Disney or Pixar? Or will you go along the route of Nickelodeon and Saturday morning cartoons? You could even go in a different direction and make a kinetic and moving sculpture. Or you could create your own Nerdly Brickfilm! All interpretations of “animation” are fair game.

PRIZES

The winners of Nerdvember 2024 can expect some pretty epic prizes. The first-place winner will receive our Golden Nerdly Trophy, BrickNerd swag box, and can choose between set 43242 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ Cottage OR a $200 LEGO spending spree!

The second-place winner can choose between 43227 Villan Icons and 40613 Palace of Agrabah OR a $150 LEGO spending spree. The third-place winner can choose between 21352 Magic of Disney OR a $100 LEGO spending spree.

HOW TO ENTER

You have until the end of November to build your animated Nerdly. Entries are collected via a Google form as well as Flickr/Instagram. The form will help us track entries and give proper credit for linking, but make sure to also post it on Flickr in our Nerdvember 2024 group or on Instagram tagging @bricknerdofficial using the hashtags #Nerdvember2024 #BrickNerd and #Nerdly. 

Entries will be judged based on the reactive concept, quality of the build, and overall nerdiness in recreating our mascot, Nerdly.

So get animated and start building!
