The Montgomery Beautification Committee will host its annual Halloween Display Contest to recognize homes and businesses for outstanding Halloween decorations. “It quickly has become our most popular decorations contest of the year, as the Montgomery residents manage to raise the bar every year,” said Ben Brzoska, Village trustee and chair of the Beautification Committee.
Residents can nominate their property or someone else’s by submitting the property address online at
montgomeryil.org. Online nominations are now open through Sunday, Oct. 18, at 11:59 p.m.. Committee members will visit the nominated addresses on the night of Wednesday, Oct. 21, beginning at 5:30 p.m. to judge and award the nominees’ displays. Residents are encouraged to ensure their lights are on by 5 p.m. that evening. The committee kindly asks winners to leave their award signs posted until after Halloween, Saturday, Oct. 31.
The contest is open to Montgomery residents and businesses only and excludes unincorporated areas such as Boulder Hill.
