Outdoor Holiday Lights
& Decor Contest
UPDATE
We're making a small change to how winners will be determined. Instead of community voting, we'll use a random spinning wheel (Wheel of Names) to select the prize winners.
Why the change? We learned that some people had difficulty registering and submitting photos online - and if entering is a challenge, voting online would be too.
This new approach keeps it fair and simple for everyone. Entries are still required to submit a photo of their decorated display to be eligible. To enter, email a Board member (see Contacts) or complete the entry form below.
For the first time, the Warren Agricultural Society is lighting up the holiday season with the Outdoor Holiday Lights & Decor Contest, part of the Warren Hometown Christmas event!
Residents of Markstay-Warren, this is your chance to shine! Decorate your homes with dazzling holiday displays and compete for cash prizes, all made possible by the generosity of our local sponsors.
Prizes for Top Displays
1st Place: $300
2nd Place: $200
3rd Place: $100 + $100 Grocery Gift Card
