Get Ready for the 2024 Christmas Lights Competition

Back

Join us for the Diamantina Shire Christmas Lights Competiton 2024

It’s time to light up Bedourie, Birdsville, and Betoota with your most creative and festive displays! Whether you're a business, a household, or a Station, we invite you to join in the fun and show off your Christmas spirit.

 

How to Enter:

  • Pick up a registration form from one of our Visitor Information Centres in Bedourie or Birdsville, or download here.
  • Circle your nominated town: Bedourie, Birdsville, or Betoota.
  • Submit your name/business/station, and address details (must be located in the Diamantina Shire).
  • Stations: Please send a video of your light display to visitors@diamantina.qld.gov.au
  • All businesses are welcome, including Council buildings, police stations, health clinics, shops, and offices.
  • Return your completed entry form to either the Bedourie Outback Visitor Information Centre (in person or via email to visitors@diamantina.qld.gov.au) or the Wirrarri Visitor Information Centre (in person or via email to info@diamantina.qld.gov.au).

Judging: The best part? The children of the Shire will be our official judges! They’ll take a tour of the towns, enjoy some ice cream, and review video submissions from the Stations. Judging will take place on December 19th at 7 pm, and the kids' decisions are final—so no bribing the judges!

Prizes: Prize packs of solar Christmas lights, valued at $300, will be awarded for:

  • Best Business
  • Best House
  • Best Station (for each town)

Don’t miss your chance to brighten the holiday season! Good luck, and may the best display win!
