Description
It all starts out with a few strings of unassuming icicle lights you've hung from the roof of your house. But then you notice your neighbors home has a few more lights than yours. You add more, they add more, and then you find yourself in a vicious cycle. Every weekend is spent driving around town to see what your "competition" has displayed. You find yourself hitting every local retail store in search of more LED lights, inflatable snowmen, and any animated holiday character you can get your hands on! And then the unthinkable, you're suddenly on a first name basis with the cashiers. If any of this sounds familiar, you're a perfect candidate for our 2017 Light Up the Neighborhood Contest.
So here's how it works. You must be in Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) electric service territory to be eligible for the contest. Application form must be completed and returned to the ERMU office by November 29, 2017. There are five winner categories:
Prizes will be awarded as a credit on your utility bill. One winner per category *excluding the HOPE Award which is judged separately so all entries still qualify.
Pre-judging will occur December 3-5, and the final judging December 7-10.
Please be sure to have your display lit all nights of judging (12/3-12/5 and 12/7-12/10).
Winners will be announced December 13.
LED lighting is not mandatory, but strongly encouraged as well as a timer to limit energy consumption. If you are switching to LED lights and have old incandescent holiday lights, they can be recycled at City Hall during regular business hours.
