Keep In Mind

The base of the structure must be less than 18 in length. If you have an idea for a larger structure, give us a call at (612) 871-2211 or send an email to Max Stevenson: mstevenson@norwayhouse.org.

Though there are no rules on how much of your structure is edible, adjudicators and visitors are admittedly partial to the hand-baked elements of your work. The more edible it is, the more impressive it is! (Minus light decorations and the baseboard, of course!)

  • Most Creative

  • Most “Koselig” (Cozy)

  • Best Amateur Baker

  • Best Professional Baker

People’s Choice

Public voting will take place throughout the run of the exhibit, concluding on December 21, 2023. Visitors are asked to vote for their favorite Adult entry and their favorite Family & Youth Structure. The top five in each category will be put into a drawing for the Grand Prizes. Prizes will be announced via email and social media on Christmas Eve, December 24.
