City of Sauk Rapids Holiday Lights & Display Contest

 

The 34th annual City of Sauk Rapids Holiday Lights & Display Contest will choose three winners for its property displays during the December holiday season. 

 

The contest judges will take into account overall theme, lighting technique and creativity when choosing Sauk Rapids’ next winners. Three winners will be selected and receive prizes in the form of cash and/or gift cards from local sponsors. Winners will also receive a yard sign to announce their accomplishments.

 

 First place is a $200 prize

Second place is a $100 prize

Third place is a $50 prize

 

The Sauk Rapids Herald sponsors the contest along with other local businesses, which will be announced in newspaper ads in November.

All those who reside within Sauk Rapids city limits are welcome to participate. However, winners of the contest the year prior will be ineligible to win for one holiday season. The prior year’s winners are encouraged to keep their yard signs for display during the ineligible season.

 

The 2023 first-place winner was 1839 Perennial Lane NE. The second-place winner was 42 Fifth Ave. S., and the third-place winner was 38 Fifth Ave. S.
