If you haven’t heard, Architizer is hosting our first ever Gingerbread House Competition! Obviously, (most) architects are great at designing houses, but we asked ourselves whether or not that skill translates into  cookie construction. Tasking architects and design enthusiasts worldwide to create their own tasty creations, the Architizer staff will judge the entries and choose our favorite five finalists to feature on our homepage and social media platforms. On top of everything else, the grand prize winner will receive a brand new iPad Mini to celebrate the holiday season!

The Gingerbread House Competition couldn’t be easier to enter! The competition is open to all, and there are no requirements— the design can be anything from historical to modern, as long as it’s somewhat edible. After you complete your delicious masterpiece, be sure to photograph your edible edifice and submit at least one (1) and a maximum of five (5) photographs to competitions@architizer.com by Monday, December 17, at 5:00 p.m. EST. Don’t forget to include a summary of why you should win (in a 140 characters or less) as well as the name of your submission, your team, and all of the team members.

Head over to the competition page for full submission details, as well as a FAQ section that will answer any of your possible questions. If you need a little more inspiration, check out these amazing gingerbread structures — we can’t wait to see what you cook up!
