Glimmering Gardens

An Outdoor Holiday Decor Competition, Presented by GardenKitchener!

Let Your Decorating Skills Shine!

Glimmering Gardens The GardenKitchener Outdoor Holiday Display Competition
 
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that GardenKitchener members have an incredible knack for creating beautiful outdoor displays! This season, we’re thrilled to give you a chance to really showcase your creativity and spread some holiday cheer: join our Glimmering Gardens Outdoor Holiday Decor Competition for a shot at winning a $100 gift card from one of our partner businesses!

 

The Glimmering Gardens Competition is open to all active GardenKitchener members (2024 and 2025). We know many of you will be creating gorgeous outdoor holiday displays for the season anyway, so why not go one step further and show off your talents to the GardenKitchener community? Whether you prefer twinkling lights, lush greenery, or a combination of both, this is literally your moment to shine!

 

How to Enter

 
Participating is simple! Fill out the registration form below and upload at least one photo of your outdoor holiday display. During the week of December 15th – 20th, our expert judges will review entries and select two winners: Best Use of Natural Greenery and Best Light Display. Voting will also open for GardenKitchener members to choose a Member’s Choice winner.
 
To make it easy for everyone to enjoy, displays must be viewable from public property—think balconies, porches, or front yards. And for those who want to add an extra touch, you can also provide your address to be added to our online map, making your display a stop on our festive community tour!
