Deck the Key with our annual holiday lights contest.

Thanksgiving is over, and that means one thing: It’s time for the Longboat Observer’s annual “Light Up the Key” competition.

Each year, our staff searches for the best and brightest holiday decorations, and homes and properties alike always make our list (that we, of course, check twice).

Judging will take place from Dec. 9 to 11, and the top five properties will receive a prize.

If you would like to nominate a property, contact Kristen Herhold at [email protected].

Winners will be announced in our Dec. 17 issue.
