Best in Show winners will be chosen from among three age groups for the kid’s entries, and one from the 18 and up entries. The homes will be judged at the 2026 NRV Home Expo by NRVHBA member experts, receiving scores based on Overall Design, the Best Use of Lego Elements, and the “Cool Factor,” which officials say is creativity and uniqueness.
An award will also be given for the People’s Choice for both the younger & adult groups. The top score in each age group will receive a Lego gift card and the top three scores in each age group will receive a custom medal.
