City of Sauk Rapids Holiday Lights & Display Contest

 

The 33rd annual City of Sauk Rapids Holiday Lights & Display Contest will choose three winners for their 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 their prize in the form of cash and/or gift cards from local sponsors. Winners will also receive a yard sign to announce their accomplishment as well as a photo in the Sauk Rapids Herald newspaper.

First place is a $200 prize sponsored by Manea’s Meats and the Sauk Rapids Herald.

Second place is a $100 prize sponsored by Danny’s Dugout and the Sauk Rapids Herald.

Third place is a $50 prize sponsored by D&B Autobody and the Sauk Rapids Herald.

 

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 2022 first-place winner was 1000 Brook Court. The second-place winner was 1101 10th Ave. N., and the third-place winner was 1948 W. Highview Drive.
