PARKERSBURG — More than 30 kids competed Sunday in the second annual Lego Build Off at Discovery World on Market in downtown Parkersburg.

Participants from around the Mid-Ohio Valley — and at least one from as far away as Tucker County — competed individually or in teams of up to three. They were given a theme and 15 minutes to plan and gather their supplies, then two-and-a-half hours to build.

The builds had to have a story behind them, and contestants were judged on creativity, engineering and theme, with bonus points for their backstory.

The winners were:

* Quincy Taylor, solo, age 7-11
