2nd Holiday Home Decorating Contest Begins In Warminster

WARMINSTER, PA —It's time to deck the halls and deck out the homes.

After a successful inaugural contest, the Warminster Township Parks and Recreation Department is back once again with its second annual Holiday Home Decorating Contest.

The contest is for Warminster Township residents only and residents can register their homes through Dec. 5.

While there were three winners last year, prizes this year are for first place and honorable mention in two categories: Classic and Extreme.

The Parks and Recreation Department is partnering up with the Warminster Rotary Club, which is sponsoring the contest.

Classic is considered greenery, twinkle lights, etc. while examples of Extreme are light shows, inflatable decorations, etc, officials said.

Volunteer judges will be given approximately 8-10 homes each to judge.

Judges will receive a judging sheet, which includes 1-5 ratings in several different judgment categories (ie, creativity, details, uniqueness, etc.). Winners will be chosen based on the results of the judging sheets.

In the inaugural contest, the home at 1300 Spiess Lane took top honors while second place went to residents of 1168 Oak Leaf Lane while the home at 881 Fairfield Drive finished in third place.

Prizes will be announced before Dec. 25. Awards will be given at a meeting of the Warminster Township Board of Supervisors in January or February.
