  Let's Light Up Monroe this holiday. Register today for the Holiday Window Decorating Contest. 

  The Monroe Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the start of the Holiday Window Decorating Contest! This is a great opportunity for any Monroe business and organization to join in the holiday cheer by decorating their window. This new annual contest is a great way for businesses to join together to brighten the holidays for our community.

  Participation in the contest is only $30 ($25 for Chamber members) and this year’s theme is Walking in a Window Wonderland. Decorators must have their windows completed by Sunday, November 25th-Light Up Monroe. Light Up Monroe will kick start the festivities with hundreds of people flocking to Downtown to see Santa and the tree at Travelers Park lit. Attendees will be encouraged to walk from one festive window to another adding to their holiday experience.  All participants will be marked on the Holiday Window Decorating Map. The Map will be available at participating businesses and online. 

  There will be 4 competitive categories that window decorating participants can vie for this year. 

  • People’s Choice Award will be online starting at Light Up Monroe and end Saturday, December 29. Voters will automatically be entered to win an Experience Monroe gift basket and various prizes. The votes will be cast through our Facebook event page. 

  • The three other categories judged by the Monroe Chamber Board of Directors and Ambassadors will be Most Thematic, Best at Night and Most Monroe.

  The winning windows will be announced December 31st with the winners receiving: A picture of their window featured in a congratulatory post online following the contest, as well as being part of the featured promotion for the contest next year! 

  Interested applicants should complete this form. Those who can decorate but have no window space or who have window space but cannot decorate will be matched up so that everyone can participate.
