I entered the xmas light competition in our local country town for the second time only.
I did 2 years ago and decided not to until I sorted some stuff out, but was kind of pressured into it.
We are a country town of around 10,000 and the xmas spirit used to be pretty good, but seems to be waning a little.
The first time I entered, I won the best "original" entry and soon come to realise that the judges just pick the most flashing lights, so I didn't enter last year, but heard that there was not many people that did enter.
This year I was told to enter as everyone thought I should win hands down. Even though I have had a hard time getting my display up as I have had a few medical problems, both myself and 2 of my family.
Well, I did enter, and guess what. "best original" winner again.
Problem I have is, everyone in our town runs bunnings / big w lights and lots of them, the only sections in the comp are "best original", "Best overall" and "best new entry"
So as I am the only synchronised display, I think unless I add double the amount of led's and run them on a static run for judging, I am stuck with my title.
Don't get me wrong, I like the title and the $250... But you know... $500 would be nicer.
Who else has something to share? Have we any more winners?
