Homes for the Holidays: Gingerbread House-Making Contest

NOTE: Registration is for supply kits only and is OPTIONAL. No registration is needed to enter the Gingerbread House-Making Contest.

Bakers and crafters of all ages and abilities are invited to participate in our annual Gingerbread House-Making Contest! Join us in celebrating the Jefferson County Library District's 45th Anniversary by building a structure that represents our mission statement Feeding Minds, Fueling Dreams, and inspires creativity, growth, and learning.

How it Works:

• Build: Your creation may be built out of anything that can be eaten. Use whatever you like, as long as it's edible.
• Enter: Online entries will be accepted from Sunday, December 1st – Tuesday, December 10th. Optional: You may also bring your entry to the library for our display! 
• Vote: Patrons will have the opportunity to vote for their favorites in each of the three categories! There will be one winner per category:
  • Kids (under 18)
  • Adults (18 and older)
  • Families (all ages)

Online voting will be open to the public Thursday, December 12th through Friday, December 20th. Winners will be announced online on Monday, December 23rd.
