This week SA Jewish Report Online gave away another 14 tickets worth a whopping R2 000 to attend the incredible THE ART OF THE BRICK EXHIBITION – the biggest and best LEGO exhibition ever held. The expo is currently running in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

And, what’s more, WE HAVE MANY MORE TICKETS TO GIVE AWAY NEXT WEEK!

See the SAJR Online review by DAVID KATZ on THE ART OF THE BRICK EXHIBITION. The Cape Waterfront season was extended but the Johannesburg season won’t be. The Zone has been booked for the World’s #1 Expo of 2015 – and we’ll be giving away tickets for that one too. But you will have until August before we reveal what it is.

The lucky winners on July 15 were:

• Two tickets for HAYDI BEAN who wants to take her three “beautiful kids”
• Two tickets for SIMHA DAHAN for her son-in-law and grandson
• Three tickets for HILARY BROWN to assist her to take “all seven” of her grandchildren
• Three tickets for FAE AND PAUL STRASHUN to take their grandchildren
• Two tickets for GREG SMITH to go with his son
• Two tickets for Leicester Meltz whose kids are “Lego freaks”

WINNERS PLEASE NOTE: All winners from the first two weeks must collect their tickets or call Shereen Miller at (011) 430-1980 by no later than noon on Tuesday July 21, 2015 to acknowledge that they still want them. Failure to do this will result in the winners’ tickets being re-allocated in the final draw on July 21

Last week’s winners (July 8) were:

• GAYLE LIVINGSTONE who gets two tickets so she can take her three-year-old grandchild to the exhibition;
• JACOV who gets two tickets as, he says, “I would love to take my daughters to the expo”;
• JULIE TOBLIB who gets a ticket as, she says, she has “loved Lego since I was a kid. Also loves art. The combination of the two together sounds magical – the kid in me will love it;
• GLENDA KAVONIC who gets two tickets. Glenda says her sons and her grandchildren have grown up with Lego;
• AVROM STEIN who gets two tickets as he has wanted to take his family but “four tickets put it out of reach”;
• PHYLLIS in Cape Town gets two tickets for her grandchildren in Johannesburg; and
• JAMIE MARON, 6, gets two tickets to help him take his mom and brother to the show. 

ALL competition prize-winners should contact Shereen Miller at (011) 430-1980 during office hours to arrange for the collection or delivery of their prizes.

ENTER THE COMPETITION – who knows, you too may win some of the R8 000 worth of tickets.

Pictured right and below this story are the first entries in the Build-&-Win-for-the-Family competition, both built by Daniel Engelberg, 13, a grade 7 pupil at Yeshiva College and submitted by his father.

Build & Win BIG

While there is a simple way to enter the competition, as this week’s winners can attest to, the Build-&-Win-for-the-Family competition will see two lucky families with clever little brick-builders winning tickets for their whole families worth almost R500.

The easier route can still win one of dozens of tickets. All in all we are giving away tickets worth a whopping R8 000 to our users over the next three weeks. And, with ticket prices for adults at R140 (and kids at R95) making it more affordable, or free, is not too shabby an idea.

The judging panel is not looking for engineers, geniuses, architects or sculptors – simply for players who use Lego blocks creatively in an age-appropriate manner. Jewish Report is hoping for as many entries as possible because Lego will give us regular product prizes to give away to you if we can show them how many of our users are also their users.

A pre-schooler who can stack 12 blocks on top of each other with a consistent colour combination may even win. All entries will be adjudicated with the age of the builder in mind.

Even a Lego set built according to their wonderfully illustrated diagrams can win. The entries do not have to be a marvel of ingenuity.
