Judging For Judge's Choice Awards
On December 13, judges from the Campbell County Senior Center will review all nominations and select their three Judge’s Choice winners. (1st place receives $300, 2nd place - $200, 3rd place - $100).

The judges will also select the top ten houses that will be judged for the People's Choice Awards. On Saturday, December 17, the News Record will run an article with pictures of the top ten houses. The News Record and City of Gillette will also post photo albums of the top ten homes on their respective Facebook pages.

Voting For People's Choice Awards
You can vote by liking the photos in the Facebook photo albums on the News Record's page and on the City of Gillette's page. These photos will be posted on Facebook on December 17.

The deadline for voting is Tuesday, December 20 at 8 a.m.

You can vote for/like a house in each photo album (both on the News Record Facebook page and the City's Facebook page), and you can vote for as many houses from the top ten as you would like.

The total number of likes that each house/address receives will be counted as votes. The votes from both the News Record Photo album and the City of Gillette photo album Facebook will be added up. The homes/addresses with the top three total votes are the People's Choice winners. (1st place receives $300, 2nd place - $200, 3rd place - $100)

All winners will be announced on Tuesday, December 27.

Thank you to the Senior Center for organizing the judging and to the News Record for co-sponsoring the Holiday Lighting contest!
