Did you spend hours untwisting strands of lights just to make your house glow with holiday spirit? Why not cash in on your hard work by entering Patch's 'Deck the House' contest.

You can nominate your home by simply uploading a photo to the contest entry form. But you have to hurry, as today marks the deadline for submissions to the contest.

On the site you and your neighbors will also be able to vote for your favorite festive home. The winning entry will be forwarded to a national Patch judge that will select 24 finalists. Each finalist will receive $500 that they can apply to their December electric bill.

From Dec. 30 through Jan. 8 you will be able to vote for the Best Decked House in all of Patch. The grand prize winner’s school district will receive a $100,000 check from Patch.
