Is there a fee for entering a house?

No.

Will my house be judged?

No.

What are the guidelines for creating my house?

What do I do when I drop off my house?

We will ask you to fill out another very short form so each house can be properly identified. We will want to know the names of bakers, if you are connected to a business, if you have a name for your house, whether all materials are edible and whether or not you will be picking it up after the Extravaganza.

May I pick up my house after the Extravaganza?

Yes! You may pick up your house at the end of the Extravaganza OR have it be part of a silent auction for a lucky winner to take home. Indicate your preference on the submission form and/or when your drop off your house.
