The annual Christmas decorating contest for Redwood City homes, "Holly Jolly!" has begun.
Fans of the December holidays will be able to let their imaginations run wild in this second edition, which will surely be full of lights, bows and inflatable dolls alluding to one of the most anticipated seasons for children and adults.
"Decorate your walls, roofs, doors and yards with the brightest lights and show us your Christmas spirit, whatever you celebrate!" says the city council in its invitation to the contest, which has opened for entries.
This year, the organizers have added a special category for inflatables, one of the most common items seen this season in garden decorations, so it's time to get out and prepare the biggest, most colorful and fun one to dazzle the judges.
The registration form opened on November 29, and the deadline to sign up will be Sunday, December 19 at 11:59 p.m. ‒or when a maximum of 50 applications is reached‒.
Entry to the contest is FREE! So anyone willing to invest time and effort into this festive contest is welcome to do so.
The works will be evaluated as follows:
1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will be selected in the categories
- Merry and Bright – This category is all about lights.
- Christmas Spirit – Boost your enthusiasm and joy for Christmas
- Amazing Inflatables – This one is for those who love figures filled with hot air and imagination.
The most coveted prize is the bragging rights that your home has won for best décor, but the spoils include festive gifts and certificates from local businesses, as well as stunning signs to proudly display in your yard declaring you the winner.
Judging will take place on Monday, December 20th and Tuesday, December 21st at dusk, so be sure to have your lights on and ready to be judged!
