GINGERBREAD HOUSE CONTEST RULES Store-bought kits and homemade creations are BOTH welcome! Gingerbread houses must be made of edible materials.

Each house must be able to stand on its own without being held or supported by a person. All entries must be placed on a sturdy display base for safe transportation and display. Bases do not need to be edible. Entries must be made with ingredients that do not require refrigeration.

Entries must be dropped off by December 16th and remain on display through the judging period. Entries must be picked up between December 26th and January 4th.

Whether you go simple, extravagant, traditional or completely outside the box, we can't wait to see all the sweet and creative gingerbread houses our community comes up with! We can't wait to see what you create!
