A sweet community contest from C.R.O.W.
C.R.O.W. excitedly announces a fun community contest that anyone can participate in! To coincide with their upcoming production of the 2023 Holly Jolly Follies, which is called “Home,” C.R.O.W. will offer a gingerbread home decorating contest with prizes!
The entry fee is $25 per person/family/business with all proceeds supporting C.R.O.W.’s annual non-profit youth arts programming. Each gingerbread home will have a 14” x 18” maximum space allotment, and the designer’s name or business will be displayed next to their home.
C.R.O.W.’s Artistic Director Melanie Heard says, “This is a great way to show you care about the community this holiday season! What better way to bring joy to everyone who attends the Holly Jolly Follies, Empty Bowls, FRAA’s Arts Faire, and several other seasonal events at the Florence Events Center. I’m really excited to see what everyone creates!”
The gingerbread homes will be judged by the public. Voting tickets can be purchased for $10 for 10 tickets, and voters can put all of their tickets into their favorite homes’ box, or spread them out amongst several favorites. Tickets will be available for purchase at the FEC box office during business hours, or at the lobby boutique during the Holly Jolly Follies performances.
For an entry form, plus a list of rules and instructions, please visit www.crowkids.com/gingerbread. The entry deadline is November 17th, homes must be dropped off to the FEC on November 27-29th, and they will be on display for voting December 1st- 15th. At the end of the contest, homes will be returned to their designers in time for personal display for Christmas. Entry space is limited, so if you know you want to participate, don’t wait to fill out your entry form online.
“We encourage everyone to give it a whirl,” says Heard. “There is a $100 cash prize for first place, plus free tickets and treats for the runners up. Even if you don’t win, your incredible love and creativity will be on display for many people to enjoy.” Should you have questions, please send an email to: crowtheatrekids [at] yahoo.com (crowtheatrekids[at]yahoo[dot]com).
