OTR aGlow 2015

Residents, businesses and nonprofits come together for light up the windows of historic Over-the-Rhine. Beginning Friday, November 27 between 5:30-10:00p.m., participants will set the windows of OTR (upstairs and down) a-glow with creative displays. Originality is rewarded, but all entries must include a non-flammable light source and a holiday theme; celebrating OTR’s history is not required but encouraged! Individuals or groups with a street level storefront or a residential window facing any street in OTR are eligible to compete in the OTR-a-Glow display competition.

Sign up to register your OTR window here.

About the Event: Entering your Window
If you have a street level storefront or a residential window facing any street in OTR, you are eligible to compete!  OTR aGlow is a friendly window display competition for OTR residents, businesses, and non-profits. 

Official judging will take place December 2-9, with announcement of awards on Saturday, December 12 as part of Light Up in Washington Park, which starts at 6 p.m. In person judging will determine the winners in each category (residential, business, and non-profit), and the grand prize winner will get to display a one-of-a-kind “OTR aGlow Crown” created and manufactured by a student artist at the Art Academy.

Submit Your Entry
Sign up to register your OTR window here. A member of the OTR aGlow Committee will keep you in the loop with the email address you provide. Rules and additional details will be sent to all participants upon registration. We hope you'll enter your window(s) in this year’s OTR aGlow!  Official Judging will take place during the evening so remember to set your window displays ‘aglow’ beginning Friday, November  27 between 5:30-10:00pm, otherwise the judges may pass you by! We also encourage you to take pictures of your window and upload them to our Facepook page then invite your friends and supporters to like them.
