Welcome to the 2023 Holiday Décor Contest page!
It is time for the 2023 Holiday Décor Contest, but we would be remiss if we did not tell you what a GREAT job you did during the last two years! In 2022, the winners were Biggest WOW factor: Franklin Clinic, and Most Creative: Somerville Clinic!
The rules are the same as last year – You can review them below:
- It is voluntary!
- Decor can go up beginning 12/1/2023.
- Submissions must be made to MarCom no later than 12/22/2023 at 5 PM.
- You can email it or send it to our Dropbox from your phone!
- Winners will be announced in the January 2024 Newsletter.
- Removal should happen during the week between Christmas 12/25/2023 and New Year’s Eve 12/31/2023
- Be sure your decorations are secular (not religious) in nature.
- Manger displays, religious content, or symbols should not be in your plans. We serve and employ a diverse group. We want everyone to feel welcome and encouraged to participate.
- Things like snowflakes, trees, tinsel, garland, snowmen, candy canes, reindeer, and jolly Dr. Nic are encouraged!
- Steer clear of anything political or controversial.
- Above all, remember basic safety:
- Keep walkways and high-traffic areas clear.
- Involve your clinic manager! They can help ensure your fantastic creations don’t obstruct cameras or inadvertently trigger alarms.
- Place décor in unused corners of your clinics; they should always be stable and well secured.
- No duct tape and prayers – Cords never go under rugs or pinched behind furniture and high-heat items should always be avoided. NEVER plug too many strands into an outlet. Follow the rules so we don’t ruin the fun.
- If you’re going to be on a ladder, have someone help you.
- Don’t go all Griswold on us and shut the electrical grid down.
- HAVE FUN & get creative!
As always, there will be TWO winners, one for each of the following categories:
- Biggest WOW Factor
- Most Creative
This year, the winners get a clinic/department exclusive JEANS DAY, $6 per person, from MarCom for a coffee or sonic run, breakfast tacos, or whatever treats you’d like. Oh, and we cannot forget that BRAGGING RIGHTS are on the line!
Until next time,
MarCom
