Holiday Window Contest

The Holiday Window Contest returns for 2024!

The holidays are coming, and Salem will be dressed for the season with trees, wreaths, and ribbons. Every year, downtown businesses decorate their windows especially for the holidays and judges nominated by Salem Main Streets make the rounds to vote on the best windows.

BUSINESSES INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING SHOULD HAVE DESIGNS COMPLETE BY DECEMBER 6 AND SHOULD NOTE PARTICIPATION IN OUR HOLIDAY SURVEY – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/smsholidays2024

There are no set themes or categories, but typically some award categories highlight good retail practice like making use of products or lights in the display, exceptional creativity, or different types of design, like most traditional. “I particularly love how well the businesses in the downtown have learned to represent their own brands through their window displays,” said Kylie Sullivan, Salem Main Streets’ executive director. “I encourage everyone to take their time and look closely at the competing windows to see how many fine details go into the trees and tableaus.”

Look for the white Salem Main Streets Window Contest decal in windows around town to know if they are participating.
