Write to Win contests

Contest: Write to Win
Hosted by: Legoland Discovery Centers
Description/categories: This one is just for the kids (sorry, AFOLs). I've linked the rules for the Legoland Discovery Center in Chicago, but they also have the same contest running at the Dallas/Fort Worth Legoland Discovery Center, so I'll assume the same contest is running at all of them (or at least all of them in the US). Kids 12 and under can win a family annual pass to the center for writing the best things to do in the Chicago area (or Dallas/Fort Worth, or presumably wherever any of the LDCs are), what makes a great birthday party, or five LEGO building tips. Winners will be chosen by votes on their Facebook pages. I don't see any residency requirement, so I'm guessing you could enter more than one of these (say, for example, you live in Oklahoma and could reasonably travel to both the Kansas City and Dallas centers).
Deadline: July 11
Contest rules (for the Chicago center)

Welcome to ContestBricks

Hi all. This is really just a replacement for my blog BrickContests. It was just bugging me that I didn't follow the same naming convention for that, so I figured I should fix it now before that blog gets too established. Here's the welcome message from the short-lived 'BrickContests', which will also serve as a welcome to the new 'ContestBricks'.

---

Hi all,
I'm just adding a new section to my blog-family. As I'm going through various LEGO forums and sites such as Flickr and MOCpages, there are a ton of ongoing contests. The problem is that it is hard to know about all of them. This listing is going to be a very simple site for just three things:
1. Announcements of new LEGO contests.
2. Voting reminders for those contests that are up for a public vote.
3. Announcements of contest winners.

If you are hosting a contest, or simply know of a contest, please let me know at bricktalesATgmailDOTcom. Thanks! Good luck in the contests.
