Christmas Lights Competition looking bright in 2021

Festive cheer and festivities are rolling out across the Isaac region as the 2021 Christmas Lights competitions are underway.

Isaac Regional Council is encouraging residents to dream of a bright Christmas and decorate their homes and businesses for the Christmas Lights Competition.

Mayor Anne Baker said the annual tradition provides an opportunity for the community to show their festive spirit and create some magical Christmas memories.

“It has been a big year for everyone and it’s time to take a breath and end 2021 with a sparkle,” Mayor Baker said.

“The annual Christmas Lights competition provides an opportunity to get involved, meet the neighbours and spread some sparkle, joy and fun throughout our towns.

“Many of our Isaac residents and business owners spend a great deal of time and effort creating engaging light displays that delight both children and adults alike, so don’t miss out on your chance to win a prize and bragging rights.”

This year, Council is partnering with Dysart Community Support Group, Moranbah’s community radio station 4RFM and the Clermont Combined Chaplaincy Committee to coordinate the competition in their hometowns.

Mayor Baker said the partnerships with these valuable community organisations are very welcome with Council remaining the major sponsor across the Isaac region.

“The Christmas lights competition aims to develop a sense of connectedness and generate some fun and festive community spirit,” she said.

Information about closing dates, judging times and prizes for each community are available on Speak Up Isaac at speakup.isaac.qld.gov.au or Council’s website isaac.qld.gov.au.

Residents wishing to light up their local competition by entering their home or business can also learn about details by phoning 1300 ISAACS or by contacting one of the listed community organisations.
