Category Descriptions:
Griswold: think of Clark W. Griswold of the Christmas Vacation movie. These entries have a significant number of lights, on multiple surfaces. Some of the past entries have added themed elements from this specific movie.
Best Theme: these entries have an obvious harmonious theme
Special Effects: many of these entries set their lights to music, and or include a moving display.
Christmas Classic: think of Thomas Kinkade or Norman Rockwell, these are vintage style classic lights and decoration displays that are almost timeless.
CATEGORY FOCUS Registration:

Each award category will have a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mentions. Entries are generally eligible for only one award and the award categories include: Best Theme, Griswold, Special Effects, and Classic Christmas. Judges do however, reserve the option to score and offer an award in a different category than registered for if they feel it fits, and they may also to create an original award title as needed to recognize exceptional original work. We know it can be hard to pick your focus, however, this gives the judges a starting point for their evaluation.
Judges:
Individuals from Nibley and beyond including City Staff, Nibley Public officials from our Parks and Recreation Committee and Friends Group, and our Nibley City Council will evaluate entries for category awards. Preliminary Judges will determine the entries that qualify for, judging, the prize drawing, and the Nibley Lights tour and will choose to limit the total number of entries for all of the above. Typically the number of entries considered for the final round of judging is between 20-25 entries.
