The City of Destin is pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Holiday Outdoor Decorating Contest. The contest proved to be difficult to judge as many Destin homes, businesses and organizations did a fantastic job showing their Holiday spirit through decorations. The city received multiple phone calls and emails pointing out locations that had done an outstanding job of decorating their property. This information was given to the judges who canvassed Destin with the challenging task of picking the best-of-the-best. The winners will be recognized by the mayor and council at the January 2, 2018, council meeting. Each winner will receive a plaque commemorating the contest.
The city thanks all contest judges who graciously donated their time. This year’s judges were: Evan Wright, Sheri Bethea, Pat Markey, Joshua Anderson, Melissa Burch and Susan Jones.
