Residents are encouraged to decorate their houses, yard, trees and fences in the most elaborate and imaginative ways possible.
For Grenfell the three best individual houses are in the draw to win cash prizes for first, second and third.
Once again, this year's competition will be judged by an impartial person from out of town to remove any perception of bias.
To ensure the judge visits your home, you will need to nominate your address by Monday December 9 to tourism officer Auburn Carr via email edo@grenfell.org.au or by calling 6343 2855.
The winners will be announced at the Combined Service Clubs Christmas Carnival in Vaughn Park, Grenfell on Friday December 20.
