The Rockwell Museum is pleased to announce the 11th Annual Gingerbread Invitational − a fun, artful gingerbread competition for baking enthusiasts and community members of all skill levels. We invite you to enter your innovative design for the chance to be one of (up to) 12 artists featured in a special holiday exhibition.

In 2025, the theme is Color!, inspired by the Museum’s annual theme. From bold rainbows to subtle shades to chic monochrome, we invite you to let your imagination run wild to bring your vibrant, colorful creations to life. Museum visitors and community members will vote for their favorite creations; a winner will be announced in early January 2026.
