It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and the City of Visalia is celebrating with another ho-ho-home decorating contest!

Deck the Home: Visalia’s Holiday Home Decorating Contest is back for the Christmas season, and nominations are open now.

Everyone is invited to join in the fun of this citywide decorating contest, as Visalians nominate their own home for consideration. The nomination process is as simple as filling out our short online form at www.visalia.gov/DeckTheHome and providing a photo.

Houses, apartments, condos, neighborhoods, and businesses are all eligible, as long as decorations can be viewed from the street.

Photos of the decorated home are required to be considered; they can be submitted separately but must be received by the nomination deadline of December 7.
