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

Did you decorate your house for the holidays this year? Enter our "Deck the House" contest and you could win $100,000 for your local school district and $500 to pay your electric bills.

We’ve launched 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.

If this sounds like your house, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page from Nov. 26 to Dec. 16 to deckthehouse.patch.com/contest/martinez.

Only residents of Patch towns are eligible to enter. 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.

So, what are you waiting for? Now’s the time to get your holiday decorations out of the attic and “deck” your house. Let's make your house famous and bring some money home for Martinez schools.

After all, ‘tis the season.

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More
