Win $100,000 for Your Schools in Patch's Holiday Contest

Most of you will probably decorate, string lights and hang wreaths for the upcoming holidays. In the spirit of giving Patch has a holiday contest coming up with a chance to win money for yourself and for your schools.

The Deck the House Patch contest is starting soon and residents in Patch communities are encouraged to submit photos or videos to the contest. With just one quick click, readers can then vote on the Best Decked House in their neighborhood.

Phase 1: The submissions and voting period will run for about 2 and a half weeks. 

Phase 2: Once the local voting phase concludes, Patch judges will narrow the winners from all 860 towns to 24 finalists who will go on to compete at a national level. All 24 finalists will have their electric bills paid by Patch for the month of December (up to $500)!

Phase 3: National voting commences to pick the Best Decked House out of the 24 finalists. Our winner will be crowned – and $100,000 will be awarded to schools in their town!

Get your houses and cameras ready. Dates are still tentative but check back with Patch for the start of the contest.
