Background
Introduced in 2018, the "Deck the Homes" Holiday Home Decorating Contest is intended to
celebrate residents who promote holiday cheer by decorating their homes and yards for the
holiday season. Organized by the Parks and Community Services Department, the program utilizes
the Parks and Community Services Commissioners as judges.
Individual homes are judged in six categories. Winners receive a yard sign, a $50 gift card to a
local business, and a Certificate of Recognition from the City Council.
To promote the Holiday Home Decorating Contest, Staff utilized the City's website and social
media platforms, in addition to sending invitations to past participants. The deadline for
submissions was December 6, 2024.
A total of 19 contest applications were received. Parks and Community Services Commissioners
individually judged participating homes by visiting locations December 9-12, 2024.
