Enter Patch's 'Deck the House' Contest for a Chance to Win $100,000 for University Place Schools

Do you plan to decorate your house for the holidays this year? Enter our "Deck the House" contest and you could win $100,000 for University Place schools and $500 to pay your own electric bill.

We’ve launched our annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations 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, upload a photo or video of your home to  http://deckthehouse.patch.com/contest/universityplace. Entries will be accepted through Dec. 16.

Only residents of 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.
