The annual contest, which was featured in the Channel 5 documentary, Harrogate: A Yorkshire Christmas, last year, will see shop windows brightened up with festive displays in the days ahead.

Harrogate Business Improvement District launched its annual Christmas window competition today.

The annual contest was featured in the Channel 5 documentary, Harrogate: A Yorkshire Christmas, last year.

It aims to promote the town centre's shops and encourage people to shop locally using the BID's online directory of shops.

Shops have until 8am on December 8 to dress their windows. After a few days of deliberations a winning window will be announced.

The judges will be looking for three elements: illumination, innovation and the sprit of Christmas.

The contest will be restricted to 50 businesses within the BID's quarters of Kings, Montpellier, Victoria and West Park.

As in previous years there are three separate categories for large, medium and small retailers.

Winners will be presented with a framed certificate to display on December 14. The overall winner will receive the prized rose bowl.

This year Harrogate BID has partnered with the Rotary Club of Harrogate on the initiative. One of the club's members, Graham Saunders, said:

"More than ever we need to encourage residents and visitors alike to venture into Harrogate and view the wonderful Christmas display the town is famed for."


Sara Ferguson, Harrogate BID acting chair, said:

"We would encourage everyone to come in to Harrogate town centre, but in a Covid-safe way, and wherever possible, do all their Christmas shopping with local traders.
"The Harrogate Gift Card is also a great Christmas present and ensures every one pound loaded onto a card is one pound spent within local community."
