Businesses across the Yarra Ranges are being urged to get into the Christmas spirit by decorating their storefronts, as part of Council’s annual Christmas Window Competition.
The competition, which is now open for entries, aims to find the most festive store window via public vote.
Entries for businesses opened on Wednesday 5 November and will run until Sunday 23 November, while public voting will open on Tuesday 25 November until Wednesday 10 December.
If you are a business and want to be part of the fun:
Upload your entry on the Yarra Ranges Christmas Window Competition 2025 Shaping Yarra Ranges page with a picture and a short description of your display.
Make sure you include your business/shop name and suburb in the title.
The shop with the most votes (or likes) for its window, at the end of the competition will be one of four winners.
For residents wanting to support local business:
Follow the Yarra Ranges Christmas Window Competition 2025 Shaping Yarra Ranges page (you need to be registered to Shaping Yarra Ranges), you will get a reminder email when voting opens.
View the entries and vote by ‘liking’ to support your favourite.
Be in the running to win one of four $150 vouchers by logging in/registering and leaving a comment on your favourite display.
