We’re thrilled to let you know that this year’s Christmas Window competition launches on 3rd November.

We’ve received some incredible entries over the past 6 years and we can’t wait to see what your shop teams have in store for us for 2025!

We’re always amazed at the creativity, attention to detail and of course the clever use of recycled and re-purposed props and materials.

Our 2025 judges

After the success of last year’s competition, our very own Acopia Retail Team will be scoring your entries again for 2025.

Prizes!

Each of the three winning shops will win a lovely festive hamper to share with the winner also receiving a wonderful trophy to display in their shop 🏆

Hamper of sweets and treats.

Last year this was won by the fabulous team at Eden Valley Hospice & Jigsaw, Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice with their wonderful winter wonderland!
