- Could You be the Star of the Next LEGO(R) CITY Ad?

Forget the X-Factor, this is LEGO Factor! LEGO and Nickelodeon are offering kids the unique opportunity to star in the next LEGO CITY commercial!

Imagine if you could visit LEGO CITY for real? Two lucky winners will be digitally shrunk down to LEGO scale and then let loose in their very own LEGO CITY!

"It'll be a dream come true for two lucky youngsters out there." said Laura Di Bonaventura, LEGO brand manager, "They'll appear in a 40 second advert which will air on the Nickelodeon channel from October 22nd. The CITY brand is all about realism and role-play and what better way to communicate it than give children this great opportunity to literally get right in it - it doesn't get more real than that!"

Ten lucky finalists will be invited along to the Nickelodeon studios in London where they'll take part in an audition. On the day they'll get lunch and a goody bag! All you have to do is log onto http://www.nick.co.uk/lego upload a picture and answer a few simple questions. Entries must be received by 29th August 2007. All terms and conditions are on the website.

Howard Litton, Nickelodeon UK's MD: "As two of the UK's leading kids' companies, this is a great example of how together we are innovating new ways to entertain and engage with our audience through quality, fun and interactive ideas. Nickelodeon has a superb relationship with LEGO and we're pleased to be working together on another exclusive project."

For ages 4-8, LEGO CITY construction kits help children learn and create by developing their own unique themed action storylines. New this year, LEGO CITY expands into a bustling Town complete with iconic everyday vehicles and scenes designed to replicate daily life!
