Do you have Ireland’s most Christmassy home?

ENERGIA Ireland’s ultimate Christmas competition, Ireland’s Most Christmassy Home, returns to Mayo for 2019.

Now in its fourth year, the search is underway to find the best decorated home in Ireland during the festive season. More details on the competition are available at https://www.energia.ie/imch-entries.

This year’s great prizes are donations of €3,000, €2,000 and €1,000 that will be awarded to the charity of choice for the first, second and third placed houses following a public vote.

Mayo homes have until midnight on Sunday, December 1, to capture a photo of their decorated home and submit it online. The Energia elves will then judge the most Christmassy homes and announce which six homes have made the shortlist on December 9. The voting will then open and the public will be able to choose their favourite festive house until midnight on Tuesday, December 17. The winners will be announced no December 20.

Since the competition launched, €18,000 has been donated to local charities throughout Ireland with previous winners coming from Wexford and Limerick and finalists from other counties across the country.

Last year’s competition was hugely popular with households all across Ireland. Anthony Doyle, from Arklow in County Wicklow was last year’s winner and donated his €3,000 prize to the RNLI and First Responders.

Geoff Codd, head of marketing and retail development, Energia, commented: “We are delighted to once again be launching the search for Ireland’s Most Christmassy Home. Now in its fourth year, the competition is hugely successful and always receives incredible support from local communities throughout Ireland. Most importantly, the search for Ireland’s Most Christmassy Home raises vital funds for charities.

“This is always a special time of year and we can’t wait to see what Mayo entrants have in store for us this year.”
