An iconic Victoria holiday tradition, the Gingerbread Showcase is Habitat for Humanity Victoria's premier annual fundraising event, contributing to helping local families get a hand-up into affordable homeownership. 2023 was a record-breaking year, and we look forward to keeping that momentum in 2024. The event sees over 20,000 visitors from school groups, community groups, Victoria locals, tourists and more. All attendees are encouraged to vote for their favourite and make a donation. Habitat Victoria leans heavily on our amazing volunteer base to act as on-site Gingerbread Ambassadors, interacting with visitors of the event and helping with donations and information about the creations and Habitat’s purpose. Professional and home bakers alike spend hundreds of hours interpreting the Showcase theme each year. In dozens of creative ways and with edible materials of all kinds. They’ll be vying for top honours in the following categories: Best first impression Best use of skill & technique Best interpretation of the theme Most creative and original Most diverse use of ingredients The People’s Choice Award – as determined by Showcase visitor voting
