Creative Competition Rules
This competition is all about letting your creative juices flow. Not feeling the Christmas Spirit, no problem! Theme however you want, you’re the candy architect. You’ll bring your own supplies for this entry. We will have a kit for you but you are allowed to bring your own gingerbread structure if you’d prefer (kits are allowed).
Rules:
Your entry must be a structure made of gingerbread (you may use a kit we provide you or you may bring your own gingerbread structure items).
You are responsible for providing your own decorations outside of the kits the Liebmans provide.
Your entry must fit on a traditional cookie sheet (cannot exceed the cookie sheet space).
Your entry must be completed on site and the only “pre-built” elements allowed are the gingerbread pieces of your structure.
Most of your entry must be edible. You can use a non-edible prop or two but everything else must be edible.
