Are you and your Christmas lights the envy of the neighborhood? Do you begin building blueprints in July — wearing a Santa hat and guzzling bottles of Great Lakes Christmas Ale you stashed under the stairs from the year before? Do you sign up for social media accounts to have more places to post pictures and brag about your sweet displays? If so, this contest is for you.
The City of Parma, in conjunction with The Young Professionals of Parma, is hosting its Holiday Lights contest in an effort to honor the city’s holiday lights champions!
The winners will receive gifts cards as well as custom engraved plaques produced by Quality Trophy and Awards:
Category Winners (3)
$50 Gift Card
(One winner per category)
Overall Winner
$100 Gift Card
(Excels in all three categories)
Prizes will be awarded in January.
SCORING categories
1. Coverage This scores how well the homeowners have covered their house/yard with lights and decorations.
2. Showmanship This scores the wow factor of the display — blinking or flashing lights, and items that move or change, or music are some examples. This can also be anything that took obvious forethought and planning, like a theme. This is about the owner’s level of creativity and thinking outside of the box, while still maintaining a holiday feel.
3. Aesthetics This incorporates organization and attention to detail. How neatly placed are all of those lights?
How to Enter
Send photos or a video of your display with your name and address to HolidayLights@ParmaYPs.com by Sunday, December 18.
Ten finalists will be selected among those initial entries. Members of Young Professionals of Parma will review finalists in person on a bus tour taking place Thursday, December 22. The four winning entries will be announced before Christmas day.
Congrats to last year’s winners! (Click here to view them)
*Unfortunately houses can’t win two years in a row but we kindly ask last year’s Holiday Lights Masters to share this contest with their family, friends and neighbors!
Thank you to our sponsor!
