If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact your local TGTG store member to discuss. The Sponsors and stores will make good-faith efforts consistent with applicable law. If digital forms are not reasonably available due to a disability, a paper alternative will be provided upon request, with store staff transferring details into the Jotform.

4.3. Entry Requirements

All entries must be submitted at a participating member store by scanning the in-store QR code and completing the Sponsor-hosted Jotform on the entrant’s own mobile device while in store. Stores must not collect paper entries or create, download, or otherwise retain local copies of any entry data. For entrants aged 18+, Jotform collects the following details: name, email, phone number, mailing address, and basic entry information. For entrants under 18, a Responsible Adult (parent or legal guardian) must complete the form and provide their own name, email, phone, and mailing address; for the child/Participant, only first name and age band are collected.

4.4. Entry photos captured by store.

Participating stores will photograph the entry in-store on a store device after the Jotform has been submitted. Entrants are not required to upload photos themselves. Stores control their photos and may publish them on their own social accounts only in accordance with Section 6.4 (including consent/crop/blur requirements). Stores are not required to upload photos to the Sponsors; the Sponsors may request assets for a winner announcement, in which case stores will provide those assets and delete local copies within 24 hours of confirmed transmission.

4.5. Photo standards.

Store photos must show the entry clearly and, where provided, the entry identifier generated by the Jotform. Store staff must avoid capturing other members of the public. Images of minors must only be taken and used with the Responsible Adult’s consent.

4.6. Store Role (collection agent only).

Participating stores facilitate entry by displaying the QR code, assisting with basic questions, and taking photographs of entries. Stores act solely as collection agents for the Sponsors. Store staff must not handle an entrant’s personal device or input personal information on an entrant’s behalf, except where necessary for accessibility and only with the entrant’s or Responsible Adult’s consent. Stores must not retain, export, print, photograph screens, or otherwise copy entrant personal information.

4.7. Entry Limit

There is a limit of one (1) entry per person.

4.8. Minor Entrants (under 18)

If the Participant is under 18, the Responsible Adult (parent or legal guardian) is the Entrant-of-Record and must submit the entry and agree to these Rules on the Participant’s behalf. Entries submitted directly by a minor are invalid.

4.8.2. Participation vs publicity: At submission, the Responsible Adult must sign a Minor Participation Acknowledgment. A separate Publicity Consent is required only if a minor’s image or voice will be captured or used; obtain it before taking or posting any such content.

4.8.3. Communications: All Competition communications and winner notifications for a minor’s entry will be sent only to the Responsible Adult.

5. Judging Criteria & Winner Selection

5.1. Overview (contest of skill; store-led process)

This competition is judged on skill. Each participating Member Store conducts judging locally in accordance with the Staff Guide and these Official Rules. A nominated representative of each participating store will judge entries at that store. Entries will be judged according to the rubric in Section 5.2 below. Judges may apply a holistic assessment and are not required to assign numeric scores unless a store chooses to do so. Entries must first meet all eligibility, originality, and safety requirements.

5.2. Judging criteria (guidance; optional scoring)

Judges may consider any or all of the following non-exclusive factors and may weight them as they deem appropriate. A store may, at its discretion, assign up to 10 points per factor (with a maximum of 50 points) or judge holistically without assigning points.

5.2.1. Originality & Creativity. Novel idea, imaginative approach, inventive use of cardboard and Makedo tools.

5.2.2. Aesthetic Appeal. Visual presentation, finish quality, color and texture choices, proportions, craftsmanship.

5.2.3. Complexity. Intricacy of the build, layered construction, innovative techniques; recognition may be given for interactive or mechanical elements that function reliably.

5.2.5. Kids Included. Meaningful involvement of a child or children in ideation, cutting, connecting, decorating, or presenting (where applicable).

Judges may consider additional factors consistent with these Rules and the spirit of the Competition, including safety, stability, and fit with the Sponsors’ brand values.

5.3. Store-level process

Each participating store will select one (1) Store Winner from eligible entries submitted at that store. Judging may be conducted by store staff, management, or a designated panel of judges. Stores may conduct a preliminary popular vote (including social media engagement) as input, provided that final validation is performed by store staff after confirming eligibility, originality, and safety.

5.4. National-level process

From among Store Winners, one (1) National Winner will be selected by a panel of representatives of Makedo and The Good Toy Group. The panel may review in-person builds, photos, or both; may request clarifications or additional images; and may apply the guidance criteria in Section 5.2 holistically, without adhering strictly to point totals.

5.5. Tie-Breakers

5.5.1. In the event of a tie at the Store Level, the store manager (or designated representative) will cast the deciding vote.

5.5.2. In the event of a tie at the National Level, Makedo reserves the sole right to make the final determination, which shall be binding.

5.6. Discretion & Authority of The Sponsors

5.6.1. The Sponsors have the sole discretion to determine whether any entry complies with these Rules and the spirit of the Competition.

5.6.2. The Sponsors reserve the right to disqualify any entry that, in their judgment:

5.6.3. Fails to meet material, originality, or safety requirements.
