From the numerous submissions, the judging panel carefully selected 10 exceptional LEGO Builds that best embodied the spirit of the challenge. In addition to the top 10 Winners, LEGOLAND School Challenge 2023 includes a special category, "IIB Catalyst of Change Award", sponsored by Iskandar Investment Berhad.

This special category celebrates creativity in designing futuristic urban structures with a focus on emerging technology and sustainability elements. Entries were judged based on originality, innovative design, imaginative use of the theme, and incorporation of sustainable elements.

Public engagement also played a part, with the creation receiving the most likes on IIB's social media platforms gaining an advantage. The winning LEGO creations captivated the judges with their imaginative design, attention to detail, and innovative interpretations of future cityscapes.

The winners received prizes worth up to an impressive total of RM100,000. These prizes include an educational trip to LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, an awe-inspiring trophy meticulously constructed from LEGO bricks, and an exclusive opportunity to participate in one of LEGOLAND Malaysia’s STEM education programs. 

All winners will also have the privilege of attending an exclusive workshop with LEGO Master Model Builders, where they can further refine their skills and deepen their love for creating through LEGO bricks.

Winning teams that attended the prize-giving ceremony in LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort had a unique opportunity to meet and interact with participants from other nations, sharing ideas, and learning from each other.
