It’s time to get ready for a bright and festive holiday period, with entries now open for Wollondilly Council’s 2021 Christmas Lights Competition.

Established in 1998, the Christmas Lights Competition has been held annually for more than twenty years, with residents and businesses from right across the Shire repeatedly lighting up their properties to embrace the Christmas spirit.

While 2021 has been another challenging year for the Wollondilly community recovering from the impacts of an extended lockdown and recent hailstorms, this is the perfect opportunity to take some time out to decorate and prepare for the holiday season.

Wollondilly residents can enter the Christmas Lights Competition by completing the entry form on Council’s website by Sunday 28 November.

Judging will take place from 1 December to 7 December and the award presentation for the competition winners will be held on 10 December.

This year the categories include:

• Best Lit Small House and Garden
• Best Lit Large House and Garden
• Best Lit Senior Citizen House
• Best Lit Commercial / Retail Premises
• Best Lit Street
• People’s Choice Award
