Atlanta ( CNN ) -- Most adults have a warm spot in their hearts for LEGOs , the colorful interlocking building toys . The iconic name conjures up images of creative creatures and thought-provoking things built by imagination . On a recent January weekend , LEGO held a job fair of sorts in the form of a contest , a two-day building contest called Brick Factor . The winner was awarded a full-time position of master model builder at the new LEGOLAND Discovery Center due to open in Atlanta in the spring . There were plenty of LEGO lovers interested . People like Megan Sims . `` Of course it 's a dream job , '' she said . `` You get to play with LEGOs and kids all day . Who would n't want that job ? '' Joshua Bohn , a college student who is a self-proclaimed lifelong LEGO enthusiast , said that among LEGO lovers this job is coveted among all others . The master model builder for LEGOLAND Discovery Center Dallas agrees . `` It 's an important job '' said Cal Walsh . `` The job is responsible for all the LEGO bricks in the Discovery Center '' . Walsh also got his job by winning a contest . He said working for the company is like getting paid to play . The Atlanta contestants were narrowed down on the first day by several rounds of tasks , or builds . In the first , competitors built an animal in 45 minutes . This gave birth to lions , ducks , fish and alligators . There were even some angry birds . Build two was a little more complex ; the contestants were charged with building an Atlanta icon . Entries included Ray Charles singing , the immensely popular Peachtree road race and the Fox Theatre , a well-known Midtown entertainment venue . Twelve contestants were selected for the finals , in which they created a model that best described them . They had one hour . Zack Cole , an architecture student , knew immediately he would build a guitar , but he was n't the only one . `` I know someone else is making a guitar , I guess ill have to make mine better . '' Sims , a mother of two and the only woman left , chose to build Wonder Woman . `` As a mom , sometimes I feel I need to be a superhero to get things done . '' Bohn 's homage to theater , a stage scene depicting Romeo and Juliet , was selected the winner . `` I feel like I was when I was 3 or 4 , when I got my first LEGO set , '' Bohn said .
