Enter Patch's “Deck the House” Contest For a Chance to Win $100,000

Last year, the winner of Patch's Deck the House contest was a Davis resident whose local schools got $100,000 as a prize.

Wouldn't it be great if a school district in the Napa Valley got $100,000 as a result of your Christmas-decorating efforts?

It could happen. Here's how:

We’re are now launching our annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in America—the best “decked” house in the country—the one home so spectacularly decorated that everyone in town jokes your holiday decorations could rival Rockefeller Center’s.

If this sounds like your house, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page from Nov. 26 to Dec. 16. Here is a link to the contest page: Deckthehouse.patch.com/NapaValley.

Only residents of Patch communities are eligible to enter: In the Napa Valley, that's Napa, Yountville, St. Helena and Calistoga.

We’ll select 24 regional finalists, and from them, pick one grand prize winner. Patch will pay up to $500 of the utility bill for each finalist, while our national winner will have $100,000 donated to his or her local school district.

Our contest is right around the corner, so now’s the time to get your holiday decorations out of the attic and “deck” your house.

After all, ‘tis the season!
