SAHBA Junior Builder Lego Contest at the Illinois State Fair

Join us at the Illinois State Fair on Sunday, August 23 in the Expo Building

Every year we’re amazed by the creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills displayed by young builders from across the area. From towering structures and detailed scenes to completely original creations, each contestant brings something unique to the table.

Whether your child is a lifelong LEGO enthusiast or simply loves to build, this contest is a fun, family-friendly opportunity to showcase their creativity, meet other young builders, and compete for prizes and bragging rights.

The 2025 contest was one of our best yet, and we’re excited to make 2026 even bigger! We can’t wait to welcome returning contestants and see what new builders create for the first time.
