<h3><span style="font-size:22px;">It&rsquo;s kick off, lights on, shoelaces tied: for our new contest! We know that almost everyone around the world loves some kind of sport, in one way or another. You could be a lifelong fan who loves their team, to a casual supporter who watches an event once a year. But that doesn&rsquo;t matter. What matters is how you can show your love for sports by using &ndash; yup you guessed it &ndash; LEGO bricks!</span></h3>

<h3><span style="font-size:22px;">The LEGO Ideas Judges will select all the entries that participate in the Fan Vote. </span></h3>

<h3><span style="font-size:22px;">Excitingly, in addition to the regular contest prizes, we are once again running a contest which could result in a new LEGO Ideas product, just like the &lsquo;<a href="https://ideas.lego.com/challenges/8e778633-2524-42d0-b3f8-3b1921b2dbdc?challenge_phase=7f50495e-0638-4901-9eeb-36e5125ca2c4&amp;query=&amp;sort=top">Music to our Ears</a>&rsquo; contest. What this means is that all entries that reach the Fan Vote phase, will also be included into a special review by the LEGO Ideas Review Board and will stand a chance of becoming an official LEGO Ideas set <strong>IF*</strong> one submission can wow them enough. </span></h3>
