The LUG Olympics

Bringing together AFOLs from different LUGs to compete in a range of events.

This year, Well-LUG is excited to announce the introduction of the LUG Olympics. Open to all attending the AFOL day, the LUG Olympics has a range of LEGO-based events to test your speed, skill, creativity and knowledge.

​

Each Event at the LUG Olympics has a competition and a casual version so everyone can participate and go in to win some amazing prizes.

What is the LUG Olympics

The Two Leagues

The Champions League

Much like the real Olympics, competitors from around the world come together to compete in a range of LEGO-themed events. These events are designed to test speed, agility and mental focus in front of the cheering public at the Wellington Brick Show.

 

Over the weekend we will find which LUG receives the honour of being immortalised onto the Olympics trophy, a $1,000 donation to their chosen charity and of course … bragging rights.
