This annual competition, which is a collaboration between **Castlegar News**, the **City of Castlegar**, and **FortisBC**, saw numerous entries this year as residents transformed their homes into holiday displays.

In the contest, the grand prize was awarded to the residence located at **608 Yew St.**, while **420 11th Ave. (unit 4)** secured second place. The most creative decorations were recognized as well, with **2108 10th Ave.** taking first place in this category, and **2620 4th Ave.** following closely in second.
