The Santa Barbara Downtown Organization encourages businesses to get into the spirit of the season and spread holiday cheer downtown.

Decorate windows, storefronts, rooftops, inside/outside or any other areas visible to passers-by. Let shoppers see the best of your display abilities and strive to be the grand prize winner!

The grand prize winner will receive the Award of Excellence trophy plus a $100 cash prize and a half-page newspaper ad.

Other awards include a plaque for Director’s Award, President’s Award, De la Guerra Award, Judges Award and Holiday Spirit Award.

All winners also will be featured in a news release sent to local media and in the Downtown Organization’s January/February newsletter.

Final judging will begin at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 8. Businesses do not need to be open for judging.
