LEGO.com Parents News : Creation Nation

			29 Aug 2007 Calling all Creators to enter the first annual LEGO CREATIVITY AWARDS Whether to fund guitar lessons, after-school art instruction, produce an invention or solve a community problem, LEGO Systems calls students ages 6-13 who consider themselves curious, imaginative and creative to apply for a LEGO® Creativity Award. Through September 17, 2007, children in the U.S. and Canada are invited to showcase their creativity and demonstrate how one of 10 $5,000 awards may contribute to their creative development for the future.
	“We’ve seen countless examples of children who grew up playing with LEGO bricks who now contribute their problem solving skills, innovative minds, and creative perspectives to communities and businesses around the world,” said Søren Torp Laursen, president, LEGO Systems. “This Creativity Awards program demonstrates our passion for the importance of creativity in shaping the future by fostering the creative potential of the builders of tomorrow, just as other programs recognize the creativity of adults.” The contest encourages children to think of creativity as more than art or music – like taking a new approach to everyday challenges. To be considered, children must share how they are creative at home, at school or in the community, and how it makes them feel. Entrants are also asked what they will do if they receive an award. Entries will be considered in two age categories (6-9, 10-13) and judged by the LEGO Creativity Awards Jury, comprised of leading creative thinkers from around the U.S. and Canada.
