It’s time to break out the gumdrops and icing because the City of Pittsburgh’s 18th annual Gingerbread House Display and Competition is now accepting entries!

This year’s competition will be going virtual to ensure that one of Pittsburgh’s favorite holiday tradition continues.

Talented individuals, families, organizations, students, and chefs in western Pennsylvania can create gingerbread masterpieces and upload photos to enter the competition. Submissions can be made now until Sunday, November 15. Each entry must include two pictures of the completed house to qualify for the competition.

After all of the submissions are collected, everyone can enjoy browsing the hundreds of gingerbread house entries via an online gallery from November 20 to January 8. While checking out all of the submissions, don’t forget to cast your ballot for the People’s Choice award!
