LEGO Easter 2017 Building Campaign

March 6, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has a pretty cool Easter building campaign that has kicked off today and there are some prizes for winners. All you have to do is build something Easter related and share your images online using the hastag #LEGOEaster. To enter the raffle, you must share your image to the Flickr Pool and follow the rules there. For your RLUG/RLFM affiliation, make sure you state that you’ve come from The Brick Fan and post a comment below with the Flickr link to your photo or you won’t qualify. If you’re a winner of one of the raffles, LEGO will contact you directly via Flickr Mail. Read the full rules below.

Our colleagues creating global campaigns have asked us to ask you to particpate in this years #LEGOEaster campaign and share your amazing pictures online using the #LEGOEaster hashtag!

As a special treat the Community Managers have decided to add a little raffle chance to win for those of you participating. So we’ve created a flickr account where we would like everything to be pooled and also hashtagged. (The Flickr pool is right here – https://www.flickr.com/groups/3447329@N23/)

Once we pass Easter, we will do a Lucky Draw between all the pooled images.
We will pick 10 raffle winners, each getting a goodie bag with LEGO related Easter awesomeness and a medium sized LEGO set on top.

What’s required?
