Your Christmas Decorations Could Win $100,000 For Local Schools

Introducing a new Patch contest

Does your house outshine all others in your neighborhood when it comes to holiday decorations?

If the answer is yes, starting Dec. 8, enter Patch's Deck the House Contest for a chance to win $100,000 for your local public school system, $500 toward your electric bill or bragging rights in your neighborhood.

The contest will run until Dec. 26 and Palos Patch users will vote for the best-decked house in their town. From there, Patch judges will select 24 finalists nationwide, who will get their December electric bill paid by Patch (up to $500).

The grand prize winner will receive a $100,000 donation to their local school system.

We'll give you an update with more details next week, but for now, get decorating. And don't forget to take photos!
