The 3rd Annual Brick Build Competition is set to take place at NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary on Saturday, February 22nd.
NOTE: the deadline to register for this event is February 7th.

This event is in partnership with Starbase Alpena.  Please visit their official Brick Build website for all of the rules and details.

This competition challenges builders of all ages (k – 12) to create original brick constructions celebrating underwater exploration, and showcases local creativity while highlighting the sanctuary’s mission of preserving and discovering marine heritage.

The highly anticipated competition will be held on Saturday, February 22nd at the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center in Alpena, Michigan.  Participants can compete individually or in teams, using LEGO, Duplo, Mega Blocks, or other compatible building bricks to construct their vision of underwater exploration.

“This year’s theme aligns with our sanctuary’s focus on marine research and discovery, especially given upcoming efforts to map at high resolution the lake bottom within the sanctuary boundaries,” said Daniel Moffatt, Education and Stewardship Specialist at Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary.  “We’re excited to see how participants interpret underwater exploration through their creative builds.”

Registration is open until February 7th at 4pm.

Entries will be displayed at the sanctuary on Friday, February 21st, allowing the public to view and vote on places.
The live build event and overall awards will begin at noon on Saturday, February 22nd.
