“We wanted to do something that would end the year on a high note and leave everyone feeling festive for the season and hopeful for what 2022 will bring,” said the City’s Marketing Coordinator Sideya Dill. “2021 has been a bit of a rough year for many of us due to the pandemic, so we really hope that City businesses take part in this contest to add some much-needed Christmas cheer around the streets of Hamilton and to entice shoppers into their stores.

“The window size doesn’t matter; the most beautiful display may be in the smallest of windows. You just have to be located within City limits to be eligible for entry into the contest.”

Ms Dill added: “Given that Christmas is the season of giving, we wanted to add an element to the contest that would benefit our local charities. In this spirit, we will be providing funds on behalf of the winner to a charity of their choice.”
