The Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry is proud to sponsor the Best Dressed Window Display competition at this year’s Proserpine Twilight Christmas Fair.
Local businesses are invited to create eye-catching window displays that capture the spirit of Christmas and celebrate Proserpine’s unique character. Entries will be judged by The Hon. Amanda Camm MP and Mayor Ry Collins during the Fair, which runs from 5pm to 8pm on Friday, 12 December.
The major prize includes a Chamber–Whitsunday Life promotional package, featuring a half-page advertisement and editorial in Whitsunday Life newspaper, a 500-word business profile shared across the Chamber communication channels, and a Chamber subscription for winners who are not current members.
Two runners-up will each receive a package comprising a quarter-page advertisement and editorial in Whitsunday Life, a 250-word business profile shared across the Chamber communication channels, and a Chamber subscription if not already a member.
“The Chamber is excited to celebrate Proserpine businesses and showcase the creativity and community spirit of the region during the festive season,” said Chamber President, Allan Milsotic.
