<h3>We&rsquo;ve got a contest, which we hope sounds great! You will remember your favorite songs lyrics off by heart. You will remember your first concert&nbsp;or maybe&nbsp;the first time you&nbsp;played an instrument. Almost everyone loves music in one way or another, how would you show off your love of music&nbsp;using LEGO bricks?&nbsp;We want to see&nbsp;anything and everything to do with music in this contest&nbsp;and to see some of the best composed work.&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>The&nbsp;LEGO Ideas&nbsp;Judges&nbsp;will select all the entries that participate in the Fan Vote.&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>Excitingly, in&nbsp;addition&nbsp;to the&nbsp;regular&nbsp;contest&nbsp;prizes,&nbsp;we are&nbsp;piloting&nbsp;a new type&nbsp;of contest&nbsp;prize&nbsp;and process.&nbsp;What this means is&nbsp;that&nbsp;all&nbsp;entries that reach the&nbsp;Fan&nbsp;Vote&nbsp;phase, will&nbsp;also&nbsp;be&nbsp;included into a special&nbsp;review&nbsp;by the LEGO Ideas&nbsp;Review Board&nbsp;and will stand a chance&nbsp;of becoming&nbsp;an official&nbsp;LEGO Ideas set&nbsp;IF*&nbsp;one submission&nbsp;can wow them&nbsp;enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>For full details on what they&rsquo;re looking for, see the &lsquo;Judging&rsquo; section of this contest&nbsp;page.&nbsp;</h3>
