Win $100,000 For Charleston Schools On Patch

You've probably already got a list of gifts to buy that's a mile long this time of year, but here at Patch.com we want to help you give one more.

We're looking for the best dressed house in the country and the winner will earn a no-strings-attached $100,000 gift for their school district. It's easy to enter Patch's Deck the House photo contest, just upload a picture of your house by Dec. 26 through the online entry form and then tell your neighbors to log on and vote for your house.

The winning West Ashley entry will be forwarded to a national Patch judge who will select 24 finalists. Each finalist will win $500 that can be applied to their December electric bill.

Then from Dec. 30 - Jan. 8, everyone can vote for the best decked house in all of Patch. The grand prize winner's school district will get a $100,000 check from Patch.com.

So, get out your lights and ladders (and your competitive spirit)! Whether your style is sophisticated or silly, we want you to dress up your house in the name of good cheer and our kids. At the very least, West Ashley will be decked out like it’s never been before. And if we win, what better gift could we give to Charleston County's kids?

If you’ve got any questions, post them below and we’ll share the answers with everyone in town. Click here for full .
