To enter the 20PM Community Christmas Light Contest, fill out the form at the bottom of this page. The deadline to enter is the end of the day on Monday, December 8th. The contest is completely and totally free and will consist of a community favorite category where community members can vote for their favorite entry here on 20PM during the week of Monday, December 8th as well as a judges pick category where a panel of celebrity judges will pick their favorite entries.

By entering, you acknowledge and agree to the following rules:

1 ) You must register to participate. Registration is free, and just entails filling out the information below.

2 ) The deadline to register is Monday, December 8th.

3 ) Celebrity judging will occur between the 8th and the 13th.

4 ) The community favorites will be selected via online voting, so you have to be able to submit a digital photo of your light display to enter. Depending on the number of entries, I maybe able to assist you with obtaining a digital photo of your light display. Also, depending on the number of entries, I may be able to post video of all of the entries to allow people to see video of sparking/dancing lights, pop-up inflatable decorations, etc.

5 ) Your Christmas light display should not violate any federal, state or local laws or ordinances or any HOA covenants or rules. I'm not the HOA police, so if your display does violate your HOA's particular rules, you may not be disqualified. However, I don't want to encourage or reward people who break the rules/laws with their display, so please make sure you respect all applicable laws/rules.

6 ) You must have a Forney address to enter. Sorry, it's just not practical to have the celebrity judges driving all over Norther Kaufman County to judge entries. Depending on the success of the event this year, we may expand it to include neighboring areas, but for now, it's Forney only.

7 ) Online voting for the community favorites will begin on Monday, December 8th and end at noon on Sunday, December 14th.

8 ) Winners will be announced at the Christmas party on Sunday, December 14th and then posted to the site that evening.

9 ) If all goes to plan, the winners will receive a small prize - more of a trophy, really, but it's a small something. The main prize, of course, is bragging rights.

If you have any questions, please email me at Josh@TwentyPeacefulMinutes.com. Also, after submitting the form below, please email the photo(s) of your Christmas lights to Josh@TwentyPeacefulMinutes.com.

Check back on Monday, December 8th to vote for your favorites, and make sure to tell all your friends to visit http://20PM.NET/Lights to vote for your entry!

Privacy: Your privacy is very important to me. Your email address will only be used to contact you regarding your entry in the contest, and will not be stored, sold, rented, spammed or shared at all. Your street address is only necessary if you wish to be considered for the Celebrity Judges pick. Your street address will not be disclosed to anyone other than the 5 celebrity judges. Your neighborhood may be made public with your entry, but your permission will be obtained via email before any information is released.
