Deck Your House And Win $100,000 for Howard County Schools

Patch.com is launching a nationwide contest to find the best dressed holiday home, and the winner’s school district will receive $100,000, no strings attached.

I've seen what you guys have done, Ellicott City. I think we've got this contest in the bag.

This is all you have to do: beginning today and continuing through Dec. 26, you can nominate your home by uploading a photo to the contest entry form on the site.

During that period, you and your neighbors will also be able to vote for your favorite festive home. The winning entry will be forwarded to a national Patch judge that will select 24 finalists. Each finalist will receive $500 that they can apply to their December electric bill.

From Dec. 30 through Jan. 8 you will be able to vote for the Best Decked House in all of Patch. The grand prize winner’s school district will receive a $100,000 check from Patch.

So, get out your lights and ladders (and your competitive spirit)! Whether your style is sophisticated or silly, we want you to dress up your house in the name of good cheer and our kids.

At the very least, every one will get to fawn over your awesome holiday light show. And if we win, what a great gift for Howard County kids.
