Andover BID, through InAndover, its digital town centre directory, is again hosting the annual best-dressed Christmas Window Competition 2022.
The popular window display event will see companies around the town participating by creatively decorating their window displays with attractive Christmas themes.
This year’s criteria and target for businesses will be measured on quality, visual appearance, and effort.
Each year, judging becomes increasingly more difficult, and for 2022, not only will the Andover BID have a physical judging panel drawn from the BID, Test Valley Borough Council, Andover Town Council and Love Andover but also an opportunity for members of the public to vote via the In Andover website and the Love Andover Observer. In addition, a festive voting box will be placed in the town for those wishing to submit a paper vote.
Physical judging will occur on Friday, 16th December, with online judging taking place from the 1st – 20th of December. Online voting will close at 11:59 pm on the 20th December, and the winning business will be notified on 22nd December.
Businesses will shortly be contacted by BID and encouraged to enter by sending a photograph of their dressed window to info@andoverbid.org.uk
The winning business will be presented with a prize, and £150 to be donated to a local charity.
