Divisions

Professional:  The Professional division consists of individuals or teams that are involved in the culinary arts in any capacity. Examples of this would include: Current or past students of culinary arts programs; chefs, cooks, bakers or pastry artists of restaurants, bakeries, cake shops, dining facilities; individuals who have a named business that sells pastries or cakes.  Amateurs may also compete in the Professional Division if they feel their skills are comparable.

 Amateur: The Amateur division consists of individuals over the age of 18 who are NOT involved in the culinary arts as a profession or who do not have an education in culinary arts. Amateurs would include individuals who bake cakes or pastries as a hobby only. Also, an amateur team may consist of an adult and up to two youth members (any age, as long as they are properly supervised). 

 Youth:  The Youth division consists of individuals or teams that are in 4^th to 12^th grades (change from years passed). Adult supervision is necessary for youth that are younger than high school age; adults may only supervise and cannot contribute to the building or design of the gingerbread piece.  

Team Composition:  An individual who competes solo in the competition should designate himself or herself as the team leader on the application. Teams of up to three individuals may compete as well. Thus, teams of one, two or three people are acceptable. In the Amateur division, a team can consist of an adult and up to two children, two adults and one child, or three adults.
