Teen & Youth Entries may receive some adult supervision in any baking; however, the entry submitted must be designed, constructed, and decorated mainly by the entrants. All rulings by the judges are independent and final.

Except for the base, entries must be made primarily of gingerbread and composed of edible products. Edible materials are not limited to sweets. No artificial display materials, such as Styrofoam or interior lighting, are to be used in the construction of the house. Candies must be unwrapped.

There is NO entry fee. Entry forms must accompany each entry. Each entry will be assigned a number as they are delivered for judging purposes.
Each entry must be delivered to the Arts Center at the Federal Building on the following dates: November 3-7, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., or by appt. but no later than November 7th.
