How do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Do you decorate your home or office? Do you throw a huge party? Do you participate in one of the St. Paddy's Day parades?

We figure the color green's gonna figure in there somewhere. And since at Patch we're rather fond of the color green, we wanted to invite you to Show Us Your Green for the holiday. 

What's in it for you? A chance to show off just how 'Irish' you are and possibly win a $100 gift card to Claddagh Irish Pub in Legacy Village in Lyndhurst

Just share your photo of how you celebrate St. Patrick's Day in this post. Keep it clean and it's gotta have green. Here's the deets:

To enter*: Upload your photo to this post between March 6 and 15 and don’t forget to include your name in the photo caption(You need to be a registered Patch user, log in to the site, click on this story, then select "Upload Photos." If you win, we'll contact you through your email address.)

To vote: The winner will be selected based on readers making positive comments about the photo (include the name)  in the comment section of this article through 5 p.m. March 15. We'll announce the winner on March 16.

Share this post with your friends -- you can even do it on your Facebook page -- and tell them to vote for you.

If you're looking for a St. Patrick's Day party, our prize donor, Claddagh Irish Pub, is having a huge party all week leading up to the March 17 holiday. See the flyer attached to this story or check out their website

*The complete and official rules are attached to this article. The contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia who are 18 years or older. You can enter and vote just once per person.
