1) Download the map or pick one up at a participating business.     

2) Visit each business and vote for your favorite gingerbread house by donating money into the ballot box. If the business is closed, you can make your donation by dropping your money in an envelope into their mailbox.

3) Receive a stamp on your map that you have visited the business.  If the business is closed, you can submit a selfie of yourself in front of the business. Each stamp you receive (or selfie) is an entry into a drawing to win $200.  Complete the map and double your entries into the drawing!

4) The first 5 who send in their map with their first 3 stamps will instantly win gift cards. You can take a picture of your map with your stamps, and email it to Contest@BloomingdaleChamber.com.  You can continue to collect stamps.

Bloomingdale Rd, Bloomingdale, IL 60108 or email to Contest@BloomingdaleChamber.com with subject Gingerbread.  All maps must be received by January 8, 2024 to be eligible for the contest.
