WARWICK — The Warwick Merchant Guild is starting a new tradition this year with its first gingerbread contest during the celebration of Home for the Holidays.

Local residents are invited to have their creations displayed at TD Bank located at 51 Main St. The top two winners in each category will take home a prize.

Bakers and designers of all ages are welcome to compete in this year’s event.

Younger bakers, ages 15 and below, can enter into the Family Division and let their imagination go when designing their gingerbread house.

Top prize for the Family Division is a $40 gift certificate that can be redeemed at the Toy Chest, 62 Main St. The runner up will receive a $20 gift certificate to the same shop.

The more seasoned creators can enter into the Individual Division.

The Individual Division first-place winner will take home $40 in Warwick Gift Certificate Dollars that can be used at any participating store and second place will receive $20.

Participants can begin to drop off their designs at TD Bank beginning Saturday, Dec. 1, and on the last day, Saturday, Dec. 8.

Viewing of the gingerbread constructions will be throughout the month of December with voting taking place the week of Dec. 17 through 21. The judges will count the votes and cast their ballot on Saturday, Dec. 22.
