The City of Yellowknife has opened nominations for its annual Holiday Lights competition to mark the Christmas season.

The municipality issued a news release on Tuesday calling for residents to enter their own festive light displays or that of a neighbour with a Yellowknife address.

The competition is sponsored by the City of Yellowknife and Northland Utilities and there are no categories this year.
