Calling all gingerbread architects! The 5th Annual Gingerbread House Contest invites community members of all ages to showcase their gingerbread-building skills. Participants can enter in one of three divisions: Individual Youth (ages 15 and younger), Individual Adult (16+), or Family/Group (all ages). Entry is free, and interested participants can register online at Gingerbread House Contest 2024.
Each participant will receive a gingerbread baseboard, available for pickup at the Community Center or Aquatic Center starting November 4. All materials used in constructing the gingerbread house must be edible. Completed houses should be delivered to the Community Center on December 5 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. or December 6 between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Gingerbread creations will be on display and judged at the “Santa’s Village by the Sea” event on December 7 from 4:00 and 8:00 p.m., with awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each division, plus an overall “People’s Choice” award. Winning entries will be displayed at the San Clemente Art Gallery from December 7 through 12.
