CANTON -- TAUNY's Sugar and Spice gingerbread competition deadline for entry is Wednesday, Dec. 2.

For the 2015 Sugar and Spice competition, community members are invited to tell a story in gingerbread with the theme of “Children’s Literature.” Whether it is inspired by a traditional fairy tale, a classic children's series, or a recent Young Adult fiction favorite, TAUNY challenges participants to recreate a scene or setting from the story.

For thirteen years, contestants from throughout the region have competed in various age categories as well as for the People's Choice award that will be voted on at TAUNY's Annual Open House on December 5.

Entries must be made of gingerbread baked from scratch and be entirely edible. A registration form includes space for a brief excerpt from the book or story represented, or a statement from the artist. Entries will be accepted and prizes awarded in four categories: adult (ages 18+), youth (12-17 with no adult help), children (under 12 with minimal adult help), and family/youth/community group. Entries created by groups are encouraged. More information and the registration form are available at tauny.org.

TAUNY began its Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Contest and Exhibit in 2002 to celebrate the wintertime tradition of building gingerbread houses. The contest is sponsored by Stewart’s Shops.
