Greenwood Holiday Lights

Greenwood Holiday Lights

The Greenwood area hosts an annual holiday light contest and 2009 will be our best ever. This year Wacktastic Light Show is changing a wee bit to increase community participation even more. There will be two contests:

Contest 1: RESIDENCE WACKTASTIC LIGHT DISPLAYS
Folks can enter the contest at the Wacktastic website, and be placed on a map. Then, during the week of Dec. 10th thru 17th, anybody can vote online (once per household) for their favorite display and the top ten will be awarded prizes from esteemed Greenwood-Phinney businesses (i.e. you). We would like the prizes to be gift certificates to ease up our collection time (and backs–and if your business doesn’t have gift certificates, we will gladly supply you with Official Wacktastic Bucks). Then the prizes (and a slide show of all entries) will be presented at the Wacktastic Awards Party on Sunday 12.20.09 at The Greenwood Collective.

Boundaries from Aurora to 8th Ave between 105th and 65th.

Contest 2: RETAIL WACKTASTIC LIGHT DISPLAYS
This is where YOU can let your Wacky Flag Fly and win a free advertising package. Three local celebrity judge will travel from 65th to 105th and Greenwood and choose their top two favorite Business Light Displays that are The Most Wacktastic. Again, prizes will be awarded at the Wacktastic Awards Party, 12.20.09 at the Greenwood Collective.

There is also going to be food donation bins at local pubs Greenwood Pub Association for the Greenwood Food Bank.
