How can I be apart of Brick Days?

What is a “Guest Builder”
Being a Guest Builder allows you the opportunity to display your creations along side other builders during the event.
What is a “V.I.B?”
V.I.B or Very important Builder is what we call an individual who wants to participate at Brick Day’s highest level. Signing up to be a V.I.B. allows you the opportunity to display your creations along side other builders during the event as well as access to the special events that are held the Friday night before the event.
If I sign up to display at Brick Days, how will I be informed of set up times and other information?
If have registered to display at Brick Days, we will send out emails leading up to the event filled with all the information you will need to have a great show.
What is “World of Lights?”
World of Lights is a fabulous event. On Friday (the night before the event) during the V.I.B gathering, we turn off all the lights in the display room. Then any and all creations that builders have added lighting to are turned on, lighting up the room. For 30 minutes, you will be allowed to roam freely to gaze at a sight most people don’t often get to see, hence, World of Lights!
Will my or my children’s information be used outside of Brick Days?
No. Any information obtained via the Brick Days website or emails will only be used for the event you signed up for and will be deleted shortly after the event is over.
I prepaid for tickets/registration but can’t make it. Can I get money back?
