Are You In? Don't Miss the Best Decorated House Contest

Residents have until Friday to submit a photo of their decorated home. Six finalists will be chosen and readers will be voting to determine the first place winner on Saturday.

For the past two weeks Patch's roving photographers have been out and about, and we've also sought photos via email, of the beautifully decorated homes and yards all around Sachem.

The quest is to let residents see who's done what with their holiday creative streak, and also to find the best decorated home in the village for a contest Patch is running this holiday season.

We certainly can't capture every home as Patch is also busy trying to keep up with all the news and events, and so we've invited residents to share their own in case we've missed them in a gallery published this week. But there is just two more days to enter the contest, as Sachem Patch will close down entries as of Friday, Dec. 17 at 5 p.m.

On Saturday we'll publish the top six potential winners and ask residents to vote on who should win the local prize.

The winner's home will then be entered into the "Best Decorated House on Long Island" contest and go up against homes in other Patches all over Long Island.

So don't miss out. Get your photos in by posting them online right here on site or emailing them to Chris@Patch.com.  Then tune in Saturday to vote for whom you think should win.
