Now in its seventh year, the Gingerbread Design Competition is a fun and tasty way to highlight the delicious talents of Boston landscape and architecture firms. While challenging designers to explore a new medium, this sweet event also raises funds for community design programs of the BSA Foundation and the Community Design Resource Center.

As in previous years, there will be an “auction” during the the Gingerbread exhibition, raising funds for the BSA Foundation’s community design programs. The close of the auction will be celebrated at a public reception. Guest judges will be announcing their favorite entries at the reception, as well as awarding the Golden Spatula and Golden Whisk to the designs that are most beloved by the public.

This year’s theme is “Rep your arch’ style,” enabling participants to create Gingerbread structures interpreting their favorite architectural style
