NT Parks & Recreation

Thanks for visiting our Holiday Lighting Contest Page.  If you would like to nominate your own home, or another home in the community to be entered into our contest please be sure to fill out the entry form.  Homeowners will be notified of their nomination and will receive instructions to be sure their lights are for judging which takes place December 16 between 5-8pm. 

Participation is open to residents of North Tonawanda & entries must be received by 4pm on December 13.   For a complete list of contest rules and guidelines click here.

All nominated homes will be visited and judged by members of the Mayor's office.  The judging will be based on creativity, artistry, originality and symmetry.  The best decorated house from each ward will receive the "Ward Award".  (Click here to view a map of all three wards).  The mayor will also select a house for the "Mayor's Award"--the best decorated house in the City.  Finally, pictures of each lighting display will be posted online and the public will decide on the winner of the People's Choice Award.  All award winners will receive a certificate and gift card, presented at the December 21 Common Council Meeting.
