Registration opens Monday, Nov. 9, for Heath's 2nd Annual Light Up Heath Holiday Home Decorating Contest.

Residents can sign up online through Dec. 1 and compete in two categories: Individual Homes and Most Spirited Neighborhood, according to the city's contest page.

The contest launched in 2025. Blue Ribbon News reported that organizers are aiming for double or even triple the entries from the inaugural year.

Winners and a self-guided holiday tour map will be published by Dec. 11, the city said. The map will feature all registered entries whose owners chose to be included.

The Most Spirited Neighborhood category encourages groups of homeowners to coordinate their decorating. Blue Ribbon News noted that HOA members can team up and plan a joint entry.

Residents can find the registration form at heathtx.com starting Nov. 9.
