Gingerbread Contest

From 16 January 2008

And the Winner is...

We baked up the pieces and you used them to build some incredible Gingerbread Houses & Holiday Rooms!

Our judges had the very difficult job of picking the winners and are now ready to announce the results – but before we do that, we just want to say "Great Job!" to EVERYONE that entered the competition. Thanks for participating!

HONORABLE MENTION

This contest was one of our toughest ever from a judging standpoint, as there were many, many great rooms. These players won't recieve a Grand, Runner Up or Participation Prize, but they do deserve recognition.

Mistey's giant Gingerbread man was just one of the many great rooms that didn't make the finals.
