10.

If you have any concerns about this requirement, we would advise you not to enter.
11. All entries will be judged in the first instance by members of the Blue Peter production team and representatives from LEGO. This first judging panel will decide which entries should be put forward to the second stage of judging. The first judging round will select the 10 best entries for each of the following age categories:
Category 1: Entrants aged 6-8
Category 2: Entrants aged 9-11
Category 3: Entrants aged 12-15
For each age category 3 back-up entries will be ranked in order of merit to act as standbys to replace any entries that in the verification process need to be excluded from the competition. During judging equal weighting will be given to the drawing of the world, the description and the character and world names. 30 entries in total will go through from the first round of judging to the second round of judging.
12. The second judging stage will look at the 10 best entries for each age category (30 entries in total) and be carried out by a judging panel of representatives from LEGO and Blue Peter including Blue Peter presenters. The panel may change subject to availability. From the 30 entries, the panel will choose a top entry for each age category (3 top entries in total). The 3 top entries will be ranked in merit order and an overall winner will be chosen.
