- Voters can enter a draw to win a prize too. Leave your name and contact information on your ballot to be included.
How to vote
- Visit the entries over the next couple of weeks.
- You may want to plan on going by a few times as many of the entrants add to their display right up to the 31st.
- Some business displays may be inside their store so be sure to pop in and say “Boo!” when they’re open
- Voting is a bit different than what was used for Light Up Our High River in the past.
- Instead of having to make the ever so tough decision of choosing one entry, you can share how much you like each Halloween display
- Every entry automatically receives 5 points for participating. You’ll score each location on a scale of 6-10
- If you don’t want to rate a location, then leave it blank or select “n/a”
Bragging rights

- The entry in each category with the highest tally will be declared the winner
- In cases of a tie,
- the first tiebreaker is the greatest number of 10 ratings
