Do you deck the halls? Trim the tree? Make your front yard so bright that the electric company sends you a thank-you card? Well, ‘tis your time to shine (literally).  Whether you go full Clark Griswold, prefer an elegant winter wonderland, or just want to hang a few festive lights, we want to see your holly-jolly creativity glow!  Dust off those string lights, untangle that tinsel (we believe in you), and get ready to sleigh the competition.

☃️ How to Participate:


1) Deck your halls; and
2) Send nominations to OHECAcontestchair@gmail.com by Wednesday, December17th

Know a neighbor with a dazzling display? Nominate them for a chance to win, too!

*Helpful hint: Make sure your lights and decorations are on in the evenings*

🎁 But Wait, We Need Volunteers! 

If you have a keen eye for sparkle, style, or inflatable snowmen taller than your garage, we’d love for you to join the judging squad. No prior experience necessary, just good cheer and the ability to say things like “ooh,” “wow,” and “is that… animatronic?”

Volunteer judges will receive:

✨ bragging rights, and 

✨ warm, fuzzy feeling of bringing cheer to the neighborhood (side effects may include humming holiday songs for weeks)

📅 Judging will happen from Thursday, December 18th, through Monday, December 22nd. Hot cocoa and cider while judging are highly encouraged. Ugly sweaters optional (but strongly celebrated). 

🎁 Winners announced: Tuesday, December 23rd  

📬 To volunteer or ask questions:  Email OHECAcontestchair@gmail.comby Wednesday, December 17th.

Let’s light up the neighborhood and spread some cheer!
