About Westvale Park

We’re inviting all residents Westvale Park to take part in our first Winter Windows competition - a celebration of creativity, community spirit and festive flair. Plus, you could win a £50 shopping voucher!

About the competition

Decorate one or more of your front-facing windows with a winter-themed display to show what winter means to you - your window becomes your canvas. It can be:  

• religious, seasonal, whimsical, or artistic
• festive lights, paper cut-outs, painted scenes, shadow boxes, or stained-glass effects.
• snowy landscapes, glowing candles, winter wildlife, or cheerful characters,

Window size guidelines

• Displays must be within one window (maximum size 1.5 metres x 1.5 metres) or confined to a single-pane area if you have larger windows.
• If you have small windows, you can decorate multiple panes as a single display — the focus is on artistry not size.

Competition rules

We welcome a wide range of displays, but please:

• keep it family-friendly and respectful of all cultures
• avoid flashing lights that may disturb neighbours
• no political or controversial content
• use safe, non-permanent materials that won’t damage windows or sills.

Judging criteria

Our panel of local judges, including residents and local councillors, will be looking for:

• creativity and originality
• artistic effort
• use of materials and light
• impact from the street
• winter spirit.

• Individual homes:
  • First place – £50 shopping voucher
