Gingerbread House 2026 is now open for registration – time to start baking!
Theme of 2026: The future
This year’s exhibition looks ahead, gathering architecture and environments that don’t exist yet but await us in the future.
How will we live in 100 years? Whether you imagine a utopia or an apocalypse, there is room for it in this year’s exhibition, themed around the future. With dough and icing, we explore the visions, dreams and ideas that lie just around the corner.
Perhaps you want to depict how your own home, neighbourhood or favourite place might change over time. Build tomorrow’s modular home, a survivalist’s paradise, or why not a colony on Mars. Together we create a magical exhibition where fragrant Christmas traditions meet the architecture and design of the future!
The house must not be wider than 40 × 40 cm. No part of the entry may exceed these dimensions. If the house is placed on a base plate, the total width must not exceed 40 × 40 cm. Height is optional.
No, the exhibited gingerbread houses may only contain edible ingredients. A base plate does not need to be edible. Lighting or other technical equipment is not allowed.
No, ArkDes reserves the right to discard the gingerbread houses after the exhibition has ended.
Logos, names of political parties and slogans are not allowed on the houses. Neither are contributions that could be perceived as part of a political campaign or debate. If you are unsure, please contact us at pepparkaka@arkdes.se.
To ensure fair judging and that all entries have the same starting point, entries remain anonymous until the voting is complete. This means that if you are participating in the competition, your entry cannot be shared in external media until the competition is finished.
