• ​Build a "gingerbread" structure using any homemade OR purchased edible material (ie gingerbread, graham crackers, cookies, etc).
• Everything visible on the structure and base must be edible (ie candy wrappers are not allowed), with three exceptions:
  • battery powered elements
  • the edge of the base
  • lollipops with paper or plastic sticks may be used but must be unwrapped.
• Do not use edible materials that melt or deteriorate easily.
• The structure may have up to two battery powered elements (ie lights, turning device) but are not required.
• Entries must be original. Gingerbread House kits are not allowed.
• Non-edible material may be used on the interior of the structure to provide support and attach parts but must not be visible.
• The structure must be on a base that cannot bend or collapse and must not exceed 20"x20".
• The base must be part of the overall design.
• Designs must be family friendly.
