Judging will take place on Monday, Dec. 17, from 6 to 9:30 p.m., so participants should make sure that all lights and decorations are in place and activated at that time. Judging will be based on "curb appeal," as viewed from the street only and judges will not enter the property to view the back or side yards.

Judging criteria include the unique design and creative use of lights and decorations; storyline or theme; display and placement of decorations; and overall presentation. One to four prizes will be awarded.
