This contest was held in conjunction with Christmas Lights of Hope and ran throughout the month of December.   Judging took place on weekends between December 2nd and December 24th, and while it was a close competition, after the results were tallied the Smith family display was declared the winner.

The Smiths were awarded a $500.00 prize of Carmi Chamber Bucks. Chamber Bucks are Gift Certificates that can used at any business located in Carmi.

The Carmi Chamber and the Christmas Elves would like to say thank you to everyone that participated and hope the contest will grow each year.
