Announcing the 2013 Burnsville Winter Lighting Contest

The Burnsville Convention & Visitors Bureau (BCVB), in partnership with Dakota Electric Association, proudly presents the 2013 Winter Lighting Contest for Burnsville residents.

This will be the BCVB’s second year coordinating the event that was formerly an annual contest put on by the City of Burnsville. “This event gives us an opportunity to show our appreciation to residents who keep the community looking festive during the holiday season.  A beautiful city makes our job of attracting visitors just that much easier,” reasons Executive Director, Amie Burrill.

Between November 27 and December 13, 2013, Burnsville residents may nominate Single Family Dwellings, Neighborhoods (20 single family homes or less), Apartment/Condo Complexes or Townhomes/Apartments or Condominiums that they think have outstanding winter light displays.  To qualify, nominees must be located within Burnsville City Limits, be visible from the street and match criteria for the submitted category.

Submissions will be reviewed by the BCVB Board of Directors and the top three entries in each category will receive the following: $100 Visa® Gift Card, donated by Dakota Electric Association (1st Place), $50 Gift Card to a Burnsville Restaurant (2nd Place), and 2 passes to the Minnesota Zoo (3rd Place).

To submit a nomination, visit www.Burnsvillemn.com or pick up a form at any of the following locations: Burnsville Convention and Visitors Bureau, Burnsville City Hall, Burnsville Library, Cornerstone Copy and Jo Jo’s Rise & Wine.  All submissions must be accompanied by a photo to be considered. Nominations will be accepted November 27 through December 13, 2013. Winners will be notified via phone.
