Once again, the Pagosa Springs area will be bright with holiday cheer this season… including enhanced lighting in downtown Pagosa, as well as many other festive events taking place in and around the Pagosa Springs area through the end of December.
The Pagosa Springs Area Tourism Board Holiday Lighting Contest — co-sponsored by the weekly Pagosa Springs SUN — is now accepting applications. Participating addresses will be promoted to locals and visitors. Voting will be conducted online between November 29 and December 22. Winners will be announced on December 26.
We ask participating properties and businesses to turn on their lights every evening from 6pm to 8pm between November 29 and the end of the year. Decorating must be complete by November 29.
While the lights don’t need to come on until November 29, you must register to enter your home or business by this coming Friday, November 15. A link to register is available here.
The holiday residential lighting competition will test participants’ creativity and award cash prizes for first ($1,000), second ($500) and third ($250). Participating residential properties must be decorated by November 29.
The business lighting contest is open to any Pagosa Springs area business with a property to decorate. Business prizes of first ($1,000), second ($500) and third ($250) will be awarded as advertising credit in the SUN.
The storefront window contest is open to any Pagosa Springs area business with a storefront window to decorate. Storefront window prizes of first ($500) second ($250) and third ($125) will also be awarded as advertising with the SUN.
