SUMMARY:AADL's 21st Annual LEGO Contest - Entry Drop-Off
DESCRIPTION:\nThe 2026 Anual LEGO Contest by AADL will be held on Sunday\,
  August 2 at the Sheraton Hotel across State St from Briarwood Mall. I lov
 e that it is on a Sunday now making drop-off easier for working parents.\n
 \n\n\n\n\nDrop your project off anytime between 9a-1p. Then return from 4-
 6p when the doors open for public display. The awards ceremony from 6-6:30
 p. From 1-4p the doors are closed for judging. &nbsp\;If you submit an eve
 nt\, make sure to stay for the awards ceremony as all projects must go hom
 e after.\n\n\n\nEven if you don't have an entry\, it is still fun to go se
 e the creations. There have been a couple of years where we returned from 
 vacation the day of the annual LEGO contest and weren't able to drop off o
 ur entry\, but still went to view the creations.\n\n\n\nPrizes are awarded
  in 6 age categories. Overall winners in each age group will win a $50\, $
 40\, and $30 Target gift card. Ribbons are also giving in a few special ca
 tegories. It can be easier to win a ribbon than the overall winner. At the
  10th contest\, my daughter won a medal for best use of 10 - I think she w
 as the only entry at her age level.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAge Categories\n\n\
 n\nWhen a project is a collaboration by individuals in multiple age catego
 ries\, it is placed in the older age category. Categories are determined b
 y Fall 2026 grade\n\n\n\n\nPreschool\n\n\n\nGrades K-2\n\n\n\nGrades 3-5\n
 \n\n\nGrades 6-8\n\n\n\nGrades 9-12 (plus 2025 Graduates)\n\n\n\nAdults\n\
 n\n\n\nSpecial Categories\n\n\n\nThe guidelines document is usually where 
 you can find the special categories. As of May 20\, the website says guide
 lines will be coming soon.\n\n\n\nThis year\, they are also announcing the

 the options for submission is a LEGO model at the LEGO contest.\n\n\n\n\nB
