(KAIR)--A celebration of Christmas in a Jefferson County community, as a not-for-profit organization encourages the lighting of homes, offering a cash reward as an incentive to go all out for the season.

That's happening in Perry, where the organization, Perry Pride, is hosting a christmas lights contest, open to residents of the city.

The organization will select four homes from inside the Perry city limits, with those finalists to then be ranked through a public vote.

The first place winner will receive $100, followed by a $75 prize for the second place finisher. $50 will be given to the home that comes in at third, while $25 will go to the fourth place finisher.

Voting will begin December 17 and run through December 20.

All votes will be cast on the Perry Pride Facebook page, which can be found here.

According to the announcement of the competition by Perry Pride, the organization is hosting it as a way to “spread the message of hope, peace, and joy through lights.”
