Contest challenge: Build Des Moines' skyline from Legos

Iowa Architectural Foundation (IAF) launched a contest to build Des Moines' skyline from Legos this week.

State of play: The fundraiser is inspired by Joe Feldmann, an associate principal at OPN Architects, who recently completed a similar project to celebrate Iowa's first Lego store, which opened in Jordan Creek Mall in May.

• He donated instructions for the Lego skyline project to IAF to raise money for the group's "Architecture in the Schools" program.

Zoom in: Any donated amount to the program gives contestants access to the instructions.

• Legos are not included.
• Contestants should post pictures of their finished projects on social media, and judging will happen after the Oct. 31 deadline.
• The prize is the fun of competing and bragging rights if you win.
