The Christmas Decoration Competition - being sponsored by the Chamber - is open to all local businesses (not just Chamber members) with some cash prizes up for grabs.
It could well be worth the effort too.
The best Christmas display will be awarded $500 and with second and third place winning $200 and $100 respectively, the prizes could provide a nice little boost for the holiday season.
But it's not all about winning.
"This year has been a challenging year for everyone, particularly for our local businesses," Kevin Ellis, Wingham Chamber of Commerce vice president said.
"We're hoping to cheer Wingham up."
So c'mon Wingham businesses. Wrap those buildings in lights, decorate your shop windows and fancy up the doorways with wreaths and mistletoe. Okay, maybe not mistletoe during a pandemic, but you get the idea.
Brighten up our town and help bring an uplifting dose of festive cheer to us all.
Judging will take place the week before Christmas.
