Wicklow Municipal District is excited to sponsor the Best Dressed Window Competition for retailers and businesses once again in 2024.
This year, Wicklow Municipal District will provide two hampers as prizes for the 1st and 2nd place winners. Additionally, the Wicklow Town & District Chamber will sponsor two prizes for members of the public who participate by casting their votes.
All businesses and retailers must have their window displays completed by Thursday, December 12th.
Following this, the public will vote for their favourite window display in the comments section of the Wicklow Town Facebook post (@wicklowtown page). The two businesses with the most overall votes will be declared the winners.
Voting will remain open until midnight on Sunday, December 15th.
The winners of the Best Dressed Windows will be announced on Tuesday, December 18th, along with the two public voting winners.
Cllr. Gail Dunne, Cathaoirleach of Wicklow Municipal District, stated, “Wicklow & District Chamber of Commerce and Wicklow Municipal District work closely together to promote Wicklow Town during the Christmas season. The retailers and businesses consistently create festive shopfront displays, and it is important for the Council to support this competition. The Members also recently approved two hours of free parking in all carparks until 1st January 2025, to encourage people to stay local and shop local”.
Georgina Franey, District Administrator for Wicklow Municipal District commented, “Christmas is such an exciting time of year and we’re looking forward to seeing the variety of festive displays and to support the shop local campaign”.
