Nibley City Recreation has announced the Light the Block Christmas decorating contest, inviting local residents to coordinate holiday lights with their neighbors. The competition aims to create the longest continuous line of lit houses to celebrate the holiday season.
To participate, a single household acting as the Block Captain must submit an entry form for a line of houses. All participating households must provide consent and include their addresses, and they must keep their decorations up through the holiday season to be included in the Nibley Lights Tour. The contest is limited to decorations visible from the street side of the house at night. Displays may not include human beings, live animals, or political messages. While participants do not need to connect strings of lights between homes, stringing lights across the street is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Houses located across the street may be included if they are nearby and reasonably consecutive.
Winning entries will receive cash to fund an epic block party, with the city offering the option to close the participating Nibley City street for up to 8 hours. The first-place winner will receive $1,000 and a Gaga pit for a day, second place will receive $500, and third place will receive $300. The Block Captain may select a preferred date for the block party between April 1 and September 30, 2027, provided a proposed date is submitted at least one month in advance for approval.
The competition is open to Nibley residents only. A qualifying round is scheduled for the evening of November 30 to confirm that the submitted houses are decorated and consecutive to determine the longest row. Only qualified entries will be included in the Nibley Lights Tour and the prize drawing.
All neighborhood entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Nov 29. For questions, individuals can contact Jayden at 435-315-6706.
