Enter Patch's 'Deck the House' Contest For a Chance to Win $100,000
Did you decorate your house for the holidays this year? Enter our "Deck the House" contest and you could win $100,000 for your local school district and $500 to pay your electric bills!
Weβre launching our annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in America β the best-decked house in the country β the one home so spectacularly decorated that everyone in town jokes your holiday decorations could rival Rockefeller Centerβs.
If this sounds like your house, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page from Nov. 26 to Dec. 16.
Only residents of Patch towns are eligible to enter. Weβll select 24 regional finalists, and from them, pick one grand prize winner. Patch will pay up to $500 of the utility bill for each finalist, while our national winner will have $100,000 donated to his or her local school district.
So, what are you waiting for? Nowβs the time to get your holiday decorations out of the attic and deck your house.
After all, βtis the season...
