Australians are being called upon to light up the night and showcase their festive spirit, with 7NEWS launching a state-wide hunt for New South Wales' most spectacular Christmas lights display.
How to Enter and Win Big
The competition offers a truly dazzling incentive for participants. The overall winning home in NSW will receive a massive $5,000 cash prize. Not to be outshone, the state runner-up will be awarded a generous $1,000 account credit from Alinta Energy. Entry is simple and designed for everyone: households just need to upload a photo or video of their decorated home directly via the 7NEWS entry platform.
Judging, Voting, and Key Dates
The search for the brightest and most creative display will unfold throughout December, with 7NEWS planning to feature some of the most standout entries. The final winner will be determined by a combination of factors: a decision from a dedicated panel of judges AND a public vote. This means community support could be the key to victory.
Time is of the essence for those wanting to participate. All entries must be submitted by 11:59pm on Wednesday, 15 December. The anticipation will then build towards a festive reveal. The winning NSW home will be announced during the 7NEWS broadcast at 6:00pm on Christmas Day, making for a perfect holiday surprise.
Important Details for Participants
Prospective entrants should note the specific terms associated with the runner-up prize. The Alinta Energy account credit is capped at $1,000 (including GST).
