Realtors holiday lights contest underway

After a very successful first year, the Central Oregon Association of REALTORS® (COAR) is now accepting applications for the Second Annual Holiday Lights Contest in Bend.

Residents in Bend can submit nominations for both homes and streets. Streets must have at least four homes participating to be judged. To nominate a home or street, please visit www.coar.com or email info@coar.com for a nomination form.

Voting for the winners will be done by the public via text messaging and online December 13-21. A $400 prize will be presented to the winner of the home category and $500 to the winners in the street category. The winners will have the option of donating the winnings to a local non-profit or retaining the winnings.

This event is sponsored by The Central Oregon Association of REALTORS® and Northwestern Home Loans with support from Shelley Texley’s Central Oregon Dream Team at HomeSmart Central Realty.
