Update - Friday 12th Nov 

Hello everyone. As you may have seen, we have had some entries that were previously rejected for having text on the images. These entries have now been accepted and will go into the judging phase.

This is in response to us finding out there was an error in our internal moderation system for contest entries. So entries with added text on the images should have been allowed as per our rules. So we decided to accept entries that were rejected because of this. This decision was what we feel, the fairest thing to do. 

I would like to apologize for the inconvenience of those who had to deal with this rejection reason, all I can do is apologize and mention that having text or not having text on your images does not affect your chances of winning the contest, it's based on your games themselves :)

I'll also post this update as a comment, so if you have any questions I'll respond to them there as quick as I can. If not you can always contact support.ideas@lego.com via email.
