Over on Forum 0937 they are holding a 50 Years of the Brick contest. I don't read Portuguese, so maybe someone can help fill in the details, but as I understand it the idea is to take an over-sized 2x4 brick and turn it into the centerpiece of a scene. Examples include Tania Baixinho's Beach, Rupi's Black Brick and my personal favorite, ztp's Let's Play.
LEGO recently chose a new Ambassador team. Apparently they were challenged to build a vig representing their LEGO interests and Keith Goldman made Ambassador vig.
