Every night in December was a shimmering spectacle thanks to the many Springfield residents proudly illuminating their neighbourhoods with creative outdoor Christmas light decorations.
It was all part of the annual City of Ipswich Christmas Lights Competition, for both residential and business.
The rising stars this year were Greater Springfield’s own residents of 6 Conlan Court, Augustine Heights for winning Best New Entry – and taking home a whopping $1,000 Harvey Norman gift voucher.
There was also a hard-fought People’s Choice category tallying the public’s vote over the first five days of December, which was awarded to 36 Paul Tully Avenue, Collingwood Park.
Other categories were Best Residential (top prize worth $1,500), Best Business/Organisation ($1,000), and Best Street (Event Cinemas tickets) – with a lucky prize draw for all entrants.
In 2021, Greater Springfield was also represented among finalists when Beautique Realty in Augustine Heights came second in the Best Business category.
This year, Springfield homes had officially entered, although only 6 Conlan Court, Augustine Heights made the finalists’ shortlist – and sadly all were to miss out on the lucky entry prize.
The three other entrants were:
- 6 Tiber Crescent, Springfield
- 31 Congo Circuit, Springfield
- 4 Larkhall Street, Spring Mountain
Congratulations to all who took part in helping to end the year on such a bright note!
