Vineland Nj Christmas Lights Decorating Contest

TOWN & COUNTRY CHRISTMAS LIGHTING CONTEST

WCEC hosts the Town & Country Christmas Lighting Contest each year. The contest is open to anyone within the boundaries of the co-op's service territory. Entries are placed into two categories:

Country - Entries that are powered by WCEC
Town - Entries that are powered by any other utility

The rules are simple—there are no special themes, and it doesn't matter how many lights you use. The judges observe the overall design and appeal of your total Christmas lighting display.

WCEC directors judge all entries in early December. In the Country category, two semi-finalists are chosen from each of the nine co-op districts. They receive a cash prize of $50. Then, the judges choose first-, second-, and third-place winners from among those 18 semi-finalists. These winners receive an additional cash prize of $150, $100, and $50, respectively.

In the Town category, there are three winners who receive cash prizes of $100 for third place, $150 for second place, and $200 for first place.

A Best of Show for the overall best decorations is chosen from the two first-place winners in each category. Best of Show receives an additional $200.

Contest registration is free and is open throughout November.
