By Brittany Berrens Markgren
The Superior-Douglas County Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors are excited to once again hold their annual Holiday Decorating and Lighting Contest, this time with a new “Community Choice” category.
The annual contest is free to enter and is open to residences and businesses in Superior and Douglas County. The Chamber Ambassadors will donate $5 to “Hunger Takes No Holiday” for each entry. Prizes will be awarded for six categories:
- Ambassadors’ Choice
- Best Use of Lights
- Spirit Award
- Master’s Division
- Community Choice
- Business
The new “Community Choice” category will integrate Facebook voting into the annual decorating contest. After the Dec. 1 entry deadline, photos of each entry will be uploaded to a photo album on the Chamber’s Facebook page. The photo with the most likes by Dec. 15 will be awarded the “Community Choice” prize.
The deadline to enter the contest is Tuesday, Dec. 1. Judging will take place Dec. 12-15 from 6-10 p.m., and awards are given Dec. 17.
