The ApocaLEGO group on Flickr is hosting a contest that asks builders to illustrate how civilization rebuilds itself after the LEGO apocalypse.

There are entry categories for small and large LEGO creations, but the key to the contest is that the post-apocalyptic survivors should be “actively building/creating something important to their continued survival.” What a refreshing change from the usual gloom and doom!

You can even win some LEGO, so this is your chance to get some loot for your shining beacon of LEGO hope in a desolated LEGO landscape.

The contest ends on July 31, 2008.
