Attention all festive Ipswich residents, the annual City of Ipswich Christmas Lights Competition presented by Nine News Queensland and Ipswich City Council is back again for another year of magic and cheer.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said entries are now open for the competition which always attracts amazing displays ready to brighten the streets of Ipswich.
Spend your evening taking a stroll around the neighbourhood to see some of the incredible displays dedicated residents have assembled. Alternatively, get your lights and decorations on and create your Chrissy wonderland at your front door.
“Ipswich is a family-friendly city and many of our residents and business owners create wonderful uplifting displays delighting children and adults alike,” Mayor Harding said.
“The variety of entrant displays is always impressive, with decorations ranging from inflatable snow globes, to solar-powered decorations, to lights synchronized to music and everything in between.
“Entries for the Christmas Lights Competition have opened and will close Monday 27 November, with winners announced on Friday 8 December.
“I’ll certainly be heading to view the many wonderful light displays across the city, just like I know many families across Ipswich do as part of their Christmas traditions.”
There are five different categories in the contest this year. They are;
- Best Residential presented by STRUD
- Best Business/Organisation presented by River 94.9
- Best Street presented by Event Cinemas Springfield
- People’s Choice presented by Choices Flooring by Mallets, Ipswich

Ipswich City Council will also be bringing back the popular People Choice award this year, where Ipswich Locals are eligible to vote for the most impressive display. Voting for the People’s Choice awards will occur from the 1st to the 4th of December, so make sure you have a good look at all the incredible displays before you vote.
