ENERGIA Ireland’s Most Christmassy Home Competition is returning to Mayo.

Now in its third year, entries are now being accepted to find the best decorated home in Ireland at Christmas time. For more details and how competitors can enter, see www.energia.ie/IMCH-entries.

This year’s fantastic prizes are donations of €3,000, €2,000 and €1,000 respectively to the charity of choice of the first, second and third placed houses following the public vote.

Mayo householders have until midnight on Sunday, November 25, to send in a photo of their decorated festive home. The Energia team will judge the most Christmassy homes and announce the six finalists on Monday, December 3. The public will then be able to vote on the competitions until midnight on Tuesday, December 11, with the winner announced on Thursday, December 13.

Last year the competition was extremely popular with households all across Ireland, with the highest number of entries from Wexford and 2.6 million people reached in total. Over 38,000 people voted with the winner, Tony Fitzpatrick, from Drinagh in Co. Wexford, receiving over 3,475 votes of those cast. Tony donated his €3,000 prize to the Wexford Homecare Hospice.
