Win $100,000 from Patch!

Did you decorate your house for the holidays this year? Enter our "Deck the House" contest and you could win $100,000 for the Palo Alto Unified School District and $500 to pay your electric bills!


We’re launching our annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations along the Peninsula and 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’s.

If this sounds like your house in Palo Alto, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page from Nov. 26 to Dec. 16.

Only residents of our 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.

Our contest is right around the corner, so now’s the time to get your holiday decorations out of the attic and “deck” your house. Enter this Patch contest now!
