The FSNA is thrilled to invite you to the festive 2025 Fountain Square Winter Lights & Sights holiday home decorating competition! Embrace the winter spirit and deck your halls to impress. Share a photo of your beautifully adorned home for a chance to win fabulous prizes, including a yard sign to showcase your achievement, (sur)prizes from local businesses, and more – not to mention local fame and bragging rights!
New for 2025: Join us for the "Lights & Sights Tour," a family-friendly walking tour of participating houses! See below for more details.
All Fountain Square residents are eligible to participate in the contest. Feel free to submit photos showcasing either or both your interior and exterior holiday decorations.
Please note, businesses and current board members of FSNA are not eligible to enter.
Decorations should be mindful not to obstruct any public safety equipment or pathways. We encourage family-friendly displays; any submissions deemed discriminatory, political, or unsuitable for a general audience (PG13 and below) will be disqualified.
Submitting your entry is easy!
1) Take photos of your decorated home. Make sure to capture all the magical details!
2) Submit your home via the Google Form here: Winter Lights & Sights Submission Form
3) Optional: Post the photos to either Facebook or Instagram (or both!), tag us (@fountainsquareneighbors on Instagram), and use the hashtag #FSQLightsAndSights2025. Note: remember that your post must be set to public for us to see it or share it.

All entries will be voted on by your neighbors, and by the FSNA Board. Submissions will be assessed using the following criteria, each of which is given equal weight:
