"Blackhawk's entry combined the charm of the Pixar feature film 'UP' and the holiday spirit of the gingerbread contest and caught the attention of many visitors to the in-person display and online gallery," the city said in a tweet.
The entry also collected a first-place ribbon in the high school category.
There's still time to see all the gingerbread houses on display in the City-County Building. The display will stay up through Jan. 6 and photos of the entries are posted online.
This year's display was the first back in-person since the pandemic.
