Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

Get your gingerbread and sweet decorations ready for this year’s Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Contest and Display! The theme for this year’s competition “On the Farm” is a tribute to the agricultural aspect of local life in the region. Entries may reflect any aspect of a farm and activity on farms. TAUNY will be accepting gingerbread house entries for the Annual Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Contest and Display from Friday, November 29 - Tuesday, December 3 during business hours at The TAUNY Center in Canton. We encourage makers to be creative and interpret the theme as they wish.

Sugar & Spice entries must be made of gingerbread baked from scratch and be entirely edible. All entries must be dropped off at The TAUNY Center in downtown Canton between Friday, November 29 - Tuesday, December 3. Entries will be accepted and prizes awarded in four categories: adult (ages 18+), youth (12-17 with no adult help), children (under 12 with minimal adult help), and family/youth/community group. Entries created by groups are encouraged. Interested participants who wish to display their work, but not enter the competition are also welcome.

Maximum base size: 20” x 20”. Please make sure your entry is constructed on a surface that can bear its weight, as it will have to be moved during the display setup process. Participants will be asked to fill out an enrollment form for their entry which includes space for a brief description of the gingerbread house and/or a statement from the artist. If you’d like to fill out your enrollment form in advance visit tauny.org. All gingerbread houses will be on display in TAUNY’s 1st floor gallery from December 3-22. The gingerbread contest winners will be announced at the annual Holiday Open House on December 7.
