Casey Council launches Christmas Lights Contest

City of Casey has launched its first-ever Christmas Lights Contest.

The contest is open from 12 November to 15 December.

It offers five categories:

1. Best Business Display

Window and/or storefront

2. Best Small Display

Garden display, rooftop display or window display

3. Best Large Display

Full yard and/or building display

4. Traditional Display

Timeless Christmas scenes

5. Community Choice Award

Voted by the community

City of Casey Mayor Cr Stefan Koomen said the contest is more than festive fun.

“It’s a way for neighbours to get to know each other and spread cheer across our streets. A little sparkle goes a long way this time of year,” he said.

For those who would rather celebrate others’ creativity, you are invited to vote for your favourite display.

Entering is easy. Take a photo of your display, choose your category and submit your details for your chance to win.
