DESCRIPTION:
Since 2016, the City has partnered with the Dublin Chamber of Commerce (Chamber)
to host the “Decorate Dublin” holiday contest as part of the year -round “Discover Dublin”
effort to promote local shopping. The annual contest is open to all Dublin businesses
and is intended to bring festive decor to Dublin's retail centers during the busy holiday
shopping season.
Now in its fourth year, Decorate Dublin continues to be a joint effort by the Chamber
and the City, led by Staff in the Economic Development Division. The Chamber solicited
participation, registered businesses in the contest, took photographs of the displays,
promoted the contest on social media and funded the prizes. Staff assisted with
outreach by designing a postcard that was mailed to approximately 1,000 businesses,
promoting the contest on social media and hosting the online survey for the People's
Choice award.
Twenty businesses participated in the contest this year. A panel of judges, comprised of
representatives from both the Chamber and the City, individually judged the
