LEGO Ideas has introduced a brand new building contest, Build from the Heart, with the winning model being turned into an official LEGO Ideas set!
The challenge is centred around Valentine’s Day and requires you to create something that corresponds with that day. Using a maximum of 1,000 LEGO elements, you have until 15th October to get your entries in. For some reason flowers can’t be used as the main part of the build, which is strange as that’s what I most associate with the day.
Not only will the winning entry be made into a real LEGO Ideas purchasable set, you’ll also bag the following goodies:
- 1% of the total net sales of the product
- 10 complimentary copies of your LEGO Ideas set
- Credit and bio in set materials as the LEGO Ideas Fan Designer
- 21345 Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Camera
- 21346 Family Tree
- 21347 London Telephone Box
- 10313 Wildflower Bouquet
- 10328 the Rose Bouquet

Official details:
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about roses and chocolates – it’s a chance to get creative and put your own twist on love, friendship, or maybe even a bit of self-care. We’re inviting you to build something that represents your take on this day, whether it’s a symbol of love, a message from the heart, a sweet treat for your special one or a completely unexpected take on what makes this day special to you. Let your heart and imagination lead the way.
Your submissions must follow the Product Idea guidelines, with the following exceptions to those rules:
- A maximum of 1,000 LEGO Elements.
- While we love flowers, flower bouquets, and flowerpots are not allowed as the main build but can be included as decorations.
- Your submission must be either entirely new creations or expired Product Ideas. Product Ideas that are or were active during the intake of this Challenge will not be accepted.
- No IP references.
A judging panel consisting of members of the LEGO Ideas Review Board will select all the entries that participate in a Fan Vote to decide the winning submission.
You may submit as many submissions as you like, however, only one submission per creator will be considered for the Fan Vote.
All entries that reach the Fan Vote phase could be a new LEGO Ideas Product!
For full details on what the judges are looking for, see the ‘Judging’ section of this contest page.
A maximum of five (5) entries will be part of the fan vote following the judging process.
The winning entry in the Fan Vote will be compensated as a Product Idea prize winner as outlined in the Product Idea guidelines and Terms of Service. Meaning, they will receive the following:
- 1% of the total net sales of the product
- 10 complimentary copies of your LEGO Ideas set
- Credit and bio in set materials as the LEGO Ideas Fan Designer
Entries that are selected to participate in the Fan Vote, but are not the Fan Vote winner, will receive the following:
- 21345 Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Camera
