Taking home the People’s Choice Award is the dazzling exhibit at 930 Salmon. This new display, situated on a corner lot, has transformed the entire front and side of the house into a mesmerizing canvas of lights.

These two streets have transformed into a winter wonderland, showcasing an exceptional level of creativity and festive decorations that are sure to enchant visitors. The Street or Neighborhood Award is an initiative to give special recognition to a specific street or neighborhood that goes above and beyond in their holiday decorations. Lariat and Sorrel Streets stood out for their exceptional displays, capturing the essence of the season and spreading joy to all who visit.

In a departure from previous years, the focus of this year’s competition was on celebrating displays that were not only visually stunning but also innovative and unique. Judges were instructed to seek out the “New and Different,” encouraging participants to explore creative avenues in their holiday decorations. While acknowledging the outstanding efforts of other displays in town, the emphasis this year was on recognizing those who embraced change and introduced new elements to their displays. Despite the challenging decision-making process, the organizers expressed their gratitude to all participants and encouraged everyone to continue elevating their displays for the upcoming years.

To ensure inclusivity, a special category was introduced to acknowledge houses that may not have received a physical award but still deserved recognition for their exceptional efforts. This additional category celebrates the broader community’s commitment to spreading holiday cheer and creating a festive atmosphere for all to enjoy.

Make your Christmas bright… and spread the cheer. The City of Chubbuck celebrates Christmas with its annual outdoor decorating contest! It is that time of year again, if you have the most festive house on the block (or the most festive block in the city), then we would like to know! The City of Chubbuck invites and encourages all residents and businesses to enter the annual Holiday Decorating Contest. This is a great way to show off your community pride and spread cheer throughout the holiday season. It’s also a perfect project for the entire family to enjoy, so, pull out your Santa, sled, reindeer, wreath and, of course, don’t forget the lights!

The contest is open to all residential homes and businesses within the Chubbuck City Limits. Selections will be made in all areas of the city. Winners will be chosen in the following categories: Best Animation, Most Colorful, Most Traditional, Spirit of the Season (2), Best Commercial/Business, Clark Griswold Award (most lights), and Best Overall. One thing we would like to stress with the contest is the judges will be looking for things that are new and different! New and different will be the key to winning awards this year! We will also be giving special recognition to a street, cul-de-sac, or small neighborhood who has the most houses decorated or best combined display. So, get together with your neighbors and have the best decorated street or neighborhood in town! If you see a house, business, street, or neighborhood that you think deserves an award, let us know by sending us an email at ChubbuckLightscontest@gmail.com or send us a message through the City of Chubbuck official Facebook Page. Please be sure to include as much information as possible including photos, which award you think they should win and most importantly, the address. Submissions will be accepted thru 5pm December 2nd.

Judging will be based on “curb appeal” as viewed from the street, which means only those decorations located on the street side of a property will be judged. Corner lots will be judged from both streets. Judges will not step onto any property to view the back or side yards. Criteria will include: Unique design and creative use of lights and decorations; storyline or theme; display and placement of decorations, animated objects, etc.; displays that are new or different from previous years, and overall presentation. Think Clark Griswold from the film “Christmas Vacation,”

Judging will be held November 29th thru December 6th. On the nights of judging, please turn all your holiday lights on by 6:00 p.m. and leave them on until 11:00 p.m. Winners will be announced December 7th via a press release and a sign being placed in their yard.
