Harrogate businesses invited to showcase their creativity in Christmas Window Competition
Harrogate businesses encouraged to bring festive creativity to windows 🎄
Local businesses are being encouraged to get creative and help bring festive cheer to Harrogate as entries open for the town’s Christmas Window Competition.
The annual competition, organised by Harrogate Business Improvement District (BID), celebrates the creativity, imagination and hard work of local businesses.
It showcases the best Christmas displays across the town centre, helping to create a magical festive atmosphere for residents and visitors.
This year’s event is being delivered in partnership with the Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce, recognising the important contribution local businesses make to the town’s Christmas celebrations.
A range of businesses are encouraged to take part, with entries open across four categories:
- Shops
- Pubs and restaurants
- Hotels
- Professional services
Judges will be looking for displays that capture the spirit of Christmas, with entries assessed on three key criteria - illumination, innovation and festive spirit.
Alongside the category winners and the overall champion, judges will also present a number of special discretionary prizes to recognise outstanding displays.
The judging will take place on Thursday 3 December from 4pm, with winners announced and celebrated at an awards evening on Thursday 10 December.
Businesses wanting to take part can enter by completing the official competition entry form.
