The Best Christmas Window Award is back for another year and £200 is up for grabs to businesses in Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester.

It is that time of year again and shops are trying to attract customers through their doors with their festive window displays.

To celebrate the amazing creativity of businesses in our area the Dorset Echo has teamed up with Wessex FM, Dorchester Chamber for Business, Dorchester BID and the Weymouth and Portland Chamber of Commerce to award prizes to the best dressed commercial Christmas windows around.

There are two categories to enter or nominate businesses in with a £100 prize up for grabs for the winning business in each category.

One prize is for the best festive shop window in Dorchester and the other is for the best dressed Christmas window in Weymouth and Portland.

To enter your business or nominate the Christmas business window that you most enjoy, simply upload the photo of your favourite shop window display for judging to Instagram.

Make sure that you include the hash tags relevant to the town in which the business is located. If the business is in Dorchester upload your image to Instagram and include the hashtags #dorchesterxmaswindow #dorset_echo #wessexfm.

If the business is in Weymouth upload your image to Instagram and include the hashtags #weymouthxmaswindow #dorset_echo #wessexfm.

If the business is in Portland upload your image to Instagram and include the hashtags #portlandxmaswindow #dorset_echo #wessexfm.

Your Instagram account must also be set to public so that your nomination can be seen.

Winners will be picked by an independent panel of judges from all entries received and announced by the Dorset Echo and Wessex FM. Entry closes on Friday, 14th December 2018.
