CNC and CGN Launch “Glow Big or Glow Home” Holiday Decorating Contest

COVINGTON, KY — The Covington Neighborhood Collaborative (CNC), in partnership with the Center for Great Neighborhoods (CGN), is proud to announce the launch of the Glow Big or Glow Home Holiday Home Decorating Contest, a festive new initiative celebrating creativity and holiday spirit across all 19 Covington neighborhoods. 

Designed to highlight the joy, imagination, and community pride that make Covington unique, the contest invites residents to submit a photo of their decorated home for a chance to be recognized as one of this year’s standout displays. 

“Covington’s holiday spirit and creative flair make this river city such a fun place to live, work, and visit. Celebrating that energy is part of what makes this season special,” said Bil Spicer, Chair of the CNC. 

How It Works 

Participating residents may submit one photo of their decorated home through the official contest form, available at: 👉 https://www.covingtoncnc.org 

Three homes will be selected as winners by a joint panel representing CNC and CGN. Winners will receive a Holiday Home Winner yard sign and citywide bragging rights. 

Important Dates

  • Judging Period: December 16–20
