Hi,
First, the programme is not “invitational” any more. Anybody can submit. That
means BrickLink won’t contact a designer to include their MOC in the programme
like it was done previously. It’s for the designers to decide to submit their
designs in the BDP.
Then, designs that failed on Ideas can be submitted… but they still have to follow
the rules/guidelines ( https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/faq.page
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/guidelines.page ).
And one of the rules is that BDP doesn’t allow designs based on third-party IP
at the moment.
That means any brand, trademark, recognizable design or character is fo.
That includes:
— LEGO’s own IP: NINJAGO, DREAMzz, etc.
— IP LEGO already has a licence for: Star Wars, Batman, etc.
— And (even more) IP LEGO doen’t have a licence: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
(which is the intellectual property of, I guess, Ian Flemming’s estate and United
Artists (part of MGM, part of Amazon)).
The only exceptions are the use of some old LEGO IP: the Lion and Falcon medieval
factions and Classic Space (astronauts and ship liveries).
That may change one day ( https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?p=29234#p29234
) but I think it will still be very limited (for instance to IP LEGO already
has).

TLG doesn't do that enough with the Speed Champions theme and almost the
entire Technic portfolio?
