Businesses across the Yarra Ranges can get into the festive spirit early and enter the Yarra Ranges Council’s Yarra Ranges Christmas Window competition.

Locals are encouraged to vote for their favourite window with the chance for them to win one of four local prizes up for grabs from the Urban, Hills, Valley and Upper categories. The businesses with the most votes from each category will also receive a hamper of locally sourced goodies.

The competition will start on Monday 20 November and will close on Wednesday 20 December and businesses can upload pictures of their Christmas window displays at any time during this period under the categories.

Winning businesses will be contacted by 21 December.
