Tired of waiting for someone else to deliver your Christmas spirit? The Newsport wants local Douglas-based businesses to harness their Christmas cheer and spruce up their shops to ensure this Christmas is the most eye-catching ever!

We want you to make Clark Griswold look like Scrooge and Myer's Christmas windows look like...well, something else that's not very Christmassy.

So what's in it for you - the merry businessperson? Just the chance to win $1000 worth of advertising on The Newsport, that's what!

We want to see lights, snow, tinsel, Santa suits, Santa bikinis, music (ok, we want to hear music) and anything else you can think of that brings a piece of Christmas to your customers.

How to enter

Take a photo of your decorated shop and send it to competitions@thenewsport.com.au and you could feature in upcoming articles on The Newsport, and claim the first prize of a $500 advertising package, or two runner-up packages of $250.

$250 goes a long way on The Newsport...and what's this? Internet advertising means you can easily measure how many people have seen and clicked on your ad? Outrageous!

So it's win win. You bring Christmas to the region, give your customers the warm and fuzzies, and have the chance to win an advertising package that works.

Winners will be chosen by The Newsport team on Tuesday 18 December. Enter now!
