Q: Do you have to make a HOUSE?
A: Gingerbread House is an exhibition about engaging in architecture in a playful, unpretentious way. At the same time, the built environment consists of many different elements, and building with gingerbread dough offers excellent opportunities to use your imagination and create new designs and exciting solutions. We therefore do not disqualify entries that do not look like traditional houses, but we particularly welcome entries that are recognisably something usually designed by architects in reality!
Q: What do you mean by party political messages and advertising for commercial purposes?
A: Logos, names of political parties and slogans are not permitted on the houses. Neither are entries that could be perceived as being part of a political campaign or debate. If in doubt, contact us at pepparkaka@arkdes.se
Q: What are the prizes?
A: The winners and those who come second in each category will receive a trophy, a special engraved baking tin and a secret design gift. The winners in the “Children under 12” category will also win a trophy and baking tin as well as a prize package tailored to their ages.
Q: Will I get my gingerbread house back when the exhibition is over?
A: Yes, when you register you can submit that you want to collect your house when the exhibition is over.
