For many families, taking a drive to see Effingham's beautifully-decorated houses and businesses is a holiday tradition. This week, the City of Effingham Convention & Visitors Bureau’s judges combed the city's neighborhoods to find the top houses and businesses for each category in the 8th annual Holiday Lights and Festive Sites competition. Now they'd like you to vote and help them select the winners!

The nominees for each category are listed on the map provided. The categories are as follows: The More the Merrier Award, The Hallmark House Award, The Children’s Choice Award and The Spirit of Effingham Business Award. Go see the lights, tally up your favorites and visit the following link to cast your vote: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/holidaylights2021. You have until Friday, December 17th at noon to vote for your favorite holiday lights! Vote at the link provided, or on the website: www.visiteffinghamil.com or in-person at their new location in Effingham City Hall, located at 201 E. Jefferson Avenue.

Two voters will be selected, at random, to win a $100 gift card to an Effingham-area business.

The winners of the competition will be announced on the afternoon of the 17th. City tourism officials say they hope you enjoy this year's entries, and thank you for helping them carry on this community tradition!
