Hi-Desert Publishing Company and Z107.7 Radio have teamed up once again to co-sponsor a free business holiday decorating contest for all businesses located in the Morongo Basin. Winners get hundreds of dollars in local advertising, very cool plaques, and holiday bragging rights. The contest will be judged by professional local artists and designers. It is free to enter. Entries will be judged on 5 criteria, “overall appeal”, “Use of available Space”, Use of Lights and Color”, “inventiveness and overall theme”, and “Wow factor”. Painted windows do not qualify for this contest. There are 4 business categories: interior and exterior, for small and large businesses. First place winners in each category get $300 in free advertising from each sponsor, with $150 in free ads from each going to second place winners. Call z107.7 at 760-366-8471 for entry information. The deadline to enter is 5:00 p.m. December 12.
