As of Dec. 19th, over 1,300 votes have already been cast! We are so excited to have Village businesses transforming our downtown into a Festive Wonderland this holiday with creative, whimsical, and even snow-covered windows and displays. From iconic holiday symbols like the Grinch to evergreen clad display models, the business windows are sure to impress.
Prizes of equal value for this year's contest winners have been generously donated by Carlsbad Magazine and the Coast News. Voting takes place December 2nd through December 18th. Three lucky winners will be announced in the CVA eNewsletter and on the CVA website Wednesday, December 20th. Judges will include City Council Members Cori Schumacher and Keith Blackburn for one prize; a group of dedicated holiday enthusiasts from the Carlsbad Boy's and Girl's Club for a second prize; and, of course, the People's Choice, available for all to vote on via online voting on the Carlsbad Village Association website starting December 2nd.
