Aldi fans who deck the halls with a little grocery-store flair could win $10,000 worth of groceries this holiday season.
The retailer is launching the ALDI Deck-Out, a nationwide decorating contest challenging shoppers to transform their homes into Aldi-inspired holiday displays, according to a statement from Aldi’s U.S. headquarters in Illinois. The grand prize includes $10,000 in Aldi gift cards and a custom trophy, while 10 runners-up can each score $1,000 in gift cards.
The contest runs Nov. 9-22, with shoppers invited to submit photos of their creations, from Aldi-themed Christmas trees and elaborate holiday charcuterie spreads to front porches decked out in the retailer’s signature colors.
Here’s what to know about the ALDI Deck-Out contest, including how to enter, who’s eligible and what winners could receive.
How to Enter Aldi’s Holiday Decorating Contest
Shoppers can enter the ALDI Deck-Out at ALDIDeckOut.com beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Nov. 9.
Participants must submit photos of their holiday displays along with a description of up to 100 words explaining the inspiration behind their decorations. Entries will be accepted through 11:59 p.m. ET on Nov. 22.
Displays can be inside or outside the home, and participants don’t need to use official Aldi products or merchandise. Decorations can instead incorporate Aldi-inspired colors or recognizable elements of the brand, including its well-known quarter-operated shopping carts.
A group of 25 Aldi superfans known as the ALDI Quarter Club will judge the submissions and select the winners.
What Are the Prizes?
One grand prize winner will receive $10,000 in Aldi gift cards and a custom ALDI Deck-Out trophy.
Up to 10 additional participants will receive honorable mentions, with each receiving $1,000 in Aldi gift cards.
All winners will also receive a holiday dinner spread featuring Aldi seasonal products. Winners can create their own shopping lists with items from across the store, including cheese, charcuterie, meat, seafood, produce, desserts and wine. The groceries will be delivered to their homes ahead of the holiday season.

The contest is open to legal residents of the contiguous 48 states and Washington, D.C., who are at least 18 years old.
Residents of Utah, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington are not eligible to participate.
