After much deliberation, discussion, debate and with great pleasure and wonder, the Yass and Boorowa Christmas Light Up competition winners have been decided.
The competition, hosted by CWP Renewables and GE Renewable Energy, was very tight with one judge’s five-year-old suggesting that all entries should score a 10 each.
“The purpose of the competition was to create “magic” for the community and the response of this child certainly attests to the success of that purpose”, said Bango Wind Farm Community Engagement Officer Lyn Diskon.
“The number of lit up properties increased this year, it was such a great effort by everyone throughout both communities”.

Yass:
143 Meehan Street

- Presentation, general appearance layout and design
- Light – use of colour, form and composition, variety and repetition
