Voting has opened for Hamilton shoppers to support their favourite Christmas window display in a competition organised by City Hall.

This year, 24 retailers have entered the event, which celebrates creativity and holiday spirit.

Sideya Dill, the Corporation of Hamilton’s senior marketing co-ordinator, said: “We’re thrilled with the variety and creativity this year’s entries bring to the City.

“The contest is all about spreading holiday cheer, fostering community spirit and supporting Hamilton’s businesses during this important season.

“It’s wonderful to see participation from both longtime contenders and newcomers, with seven businesses making their debut this year.

"Beyond celebrating the artistry of these window displays, the competition contributes to our broader mission of driving local spending, attracting foot traffic and boosting the economic vitality of businesses of all sizes.

“Every display is a testament to the creativity and community pride that make Hamilton shine during the holidays.”

A panel of five judges will select the best Christmas window winner while the People’s Choice award will be selected by members of the public.

To cast a vote for the People’s Choice Award, either scan the barcode displayed in any participating business window or visit the corporation’s website.
