Our Deck the House Contest Is Now Live

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to win a $100,000 gift to public schools in the Phonenixville area.

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

Here’s how the contest works. Beginning Dec. 8 and continuing through Dec. 26, you can nominate your home by uploading a photo to the contest entry form on the site.

During that same time 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 who will select 24 finalists. Each finalist will receive $500 that they can apply to their December electric bill.

Then, 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 public 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. 

Enter now at http://deckthehouse.patch.com/contest/phoenixville/. You must submit your photos there, so please don't submit photos above.

If you have any questions, post them below and we’ll share the answers with everyone in town.
