Weโ€™re launching our annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in Americaโ€”the best โ€œdeckedโ€ house in the countryโ€”the one home so spectacularly decorated that everyone in town jokes your holiday decorations could rival Rockefeller Centerโ€™s.

If this sounds like your house, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page from now toย Dec. 16 to http://deckthehouse.patch.com/contest/Kirkland.

Only residents of Patch towns are eligible to enter. Weโ€™ll 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? Nowโ€™s the time to get your holiday decorations out of the attic and โ€œdeckโ€ your house.

After all, โ€˜tis the season.......
