Celebrating Creativity and Community: The 3rd Annual Ultimate Lego Championship Results

The 3rd Annual Ultimate Lego Championship has come to a close, and we are overflowing with gratitude and pride for every young builder who took part. This year's competition was our most fierce yet, with 34 entries from kids as young as 4 to 11 ½ years old. From pet portraits to local landmarks, superheroes, and global events, the creativity on display was simply astounding. We loved watching our windows come alive with your imaginations and seeing the joy on your faces as you showed off your hard work.

One of the most beautiful things about this competition is not just the talent of our young builders but the support and connection it fosters within our community. We were thrilled to see so many dedicated parents, grandparents, and friends coming by frequently to cast their votes. The sweet comments from grandparents, in particular, filled our hearts—they told us that they loved the sense of community this event brings.  As one grandparent said, “In times like these, we need community more than ever, and today, you created that sense of togetherness. This was more than just a competition—it was a reminder of what makes our town so special.” Moments like these are what remind us why we host this event year after year.

Looking Ahead: Next Year’s Ultimate Lego Championship

We’re already buzzing with excitement for next year’s event, and we have some new changes in the works to make it bigger and better! We’ve heard your feedback, and next year, we plan to introduce a social media voting element to give even more community members the chance to get involved and support their favorite entry. We’re also adding a new award that will focus on the technical elements of building with an Engineering focus, which will be judged by a STEM professional. We hope this will inspire even more creativity and innovation among our young builders.

To all our participants, their families, and our wonderful Fairhope community, thank you for making this event a true celebration of creativity, hard work, and togetherness. This competition is about so much more than Legos—it’s about building connections, sharing joy, and growing together. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create next year!

With heartfelt thanks,
Your friends at Fantasy Island Toys
