Enter Montgomery's Halloween Display Contest

MONTGOMERY, IL —The Montgomery Beautification Committee will be sponsoring a Halloween Display Contest again this year. The participation and interest in this event has been wonderful. This is an opportunity for homes and businesses to be recognized for exceptional imagination and spooktacular atmosphere, creating fun for all ages. Here is your chance to share your Halloween Decorations for Special Recognition.

Decorations should be “PG-13” – family friendly, nothing too inappropriate for children and neighbors to see. It will be up to the judges’ discretion to determine whether a presentation is inappropriate. All decorations must be visible from the sidewalk as judging will take place from the sidewalk only.

Beautification Committee members will give special recognition awards to homes based on their entire presentation. Residents can nominate their own property or someone else's simply by submitting the property address. Properties nominated must be located within the village limits and does not include unincorporated areas. On Oct. 17, committee members and volunteer judges will visit all nominated addresses in order to select the winners. A sign will be placed that evening in front of the properties selected. A list of winning addresses will be published, with names omitted.

Nominations will be accepted now through October 15th and judging will take place the evening of October 17th. You can nominate a property via the village website or by calling the Village of Montgomery Public Works Department at (630) 896-9241.
