Do I have to be a FRABA member? No, you do not have to be a FRABA member to enter the contest.

Can I enter my neighbour? You may certainly submit an entry for someone else, but the homeowner must be aware, and their contact information must be included for us to obtain their approval to share their address and photos. Anonymous applications will not be accepted.

Does my address have to be listed? Yes. To be entered in the contest, you must be willing to share your address for our Light up the Holidays tour map. We always love receiving holiday photos and would be happy to share them on social media but without the address, you do not qualify for the contest.
