A beloved tradition returns — and now it’s easier than ever to participate.

Now through Nov. 11, registration is open for Omni Grove Park Inn’s 32nd annual National Gingerbread House Competition, and new age-relevant rules open the decorating extravaganza to even more participants.

The competition, which includes cash prizes, is divided by:

  • Adult (18+)
  • Teen (13-17)
  • Youth (9-12)
  • Child (5-8)

Judging will take place Nov. 18 — and the gingerbread masterpieces will remain on display at the (fabulously decorated) hotel all season long.
