The Annual Pueblo Gingerbread House Contest is a favorite holiday tradition at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Children and adults are invited to enter a Gingerbread house inspired by a Pueblo village, house, community church or historic building with cash prizes awarded in children's and adult categories. This is an annual holiday event that is a unique way to share and enjoy Pueblo culture with your family.

Official Rules

Submission must be representative of a Pueblo village, house, community, church, or historic dwelling etc. (No exceptions – GE staff and Cultural Programs will determine if entry complies with Pueblo architecture.)
