Third Annual CDRC Gingerbread House Design Competition Opens at BSA Space

Boston – BSA Space’s Third Annual Gingerbread Design Competition, sponsored by the Community Design Resource Center of Boston (CDRC), features crafty confections by local architecture firms from Boston and elsewhere in Massachusetts. More than 10 teams are participating this year with renditions of some of Boston’s most iconic buildings and infrastructure, including the State House, the old State House, Longfellow Bridge, the Greenway Carousel, Fisher Hill Reservoir Gatehouse, the Old North Church, and a runway at Logan Airport. Other entries include a residence with solar panels, a Hobbit house, Vintage Camper Christmas, and a scene from Elf.

Visitors can vote by bidding for their favorite houses at http://gingerbread.cdrcboston.org.

Donations of any size are welcome, and all donations count. All donations are 100% tax-deductible and support the work of CDRC (link:cdrcboston.org), a 501(c)3 nonprofit. The highest bidder for each house may decide its post-exhibition fate. The house that generates the most total donations will be declared the winner and announced at a closing reception on December 22. Also recognized will be the house that receives the highest number of bids.

The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
