Last month the annual BrickTrainAwards where held for the third time. A competition that is organized by the LNUR <\/a>and LLMTC<\/a> with participants from all over the globe. With around 700 entries this year it\u2019s time to look back to the competition!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Categories:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This years competition had a whopping 15 categories where participants were able to enter in. Each category had it\u2019s fair share of entries but there are always some more popular ones like the steam locomotives entries and the best freight wagon! The level of builts this year was a all time high which made judging all the entries a difficult and long task. To ensure fairdom on the judging, multiple judges from around the world where ask to join in. Resulting in a true global event<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsors and prices:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year was again sponsored by many well know L-gauge related companies. These included TrixBrix<\/a>, Habricks<\/a> and trainedbricks.com<\/a> which provided all the winners with unique prices that would hopefully inspire them to build new and unique models! Where are very grateful for these sponsors and there willingness to help us out with organizing this event!<\/p>\n\n\n
