DESCRIPTION:
To raise awareness of the “Discover Dublin CA” social media -based campaign and to
promote Dublin businesses, the City of Dublin, in collaboration with the Chamber of
Commerce, facilitated the Decorate Dublin Holiday Contest. The contest, timed to
coincide with the national “Small Business Saturday” shopping campaign, encouraged
seasonal decorations to promote shopping locally during the holiday season. The free
contest sought to elevate the festive aesthetic in Dublin’s retail areas during the busy
holiday shopping season and to promote Dublin businesses to a broader audience
through participation in the contest.
Participating businesses displayed their festive decor throughout the month of
December. The first three categories were selected by committe e; over 80 members of
the Dublin community provided feedback, through the City’s Open City Hall online
forum, to determine the “People’s Choice” award winner from among ten contestants.
