From now until Dec.18, residents can submit a picture of their outdoor Christmas display and Power99 will add it to their online gallery. On Dec.21, they will post a map so everyone can plan their own personal Twinkle Tour of Prince Albert.

One of the entries will win a $500 pre-paid Visa Gift Card and a second will win a $300 Canadian Tire gift card.

“We’re really excited to play a part in adding some sparkle and fun for everyone in the community, especially during these challenging times, and of course that’s what we do all the time on Power 99,” program director with the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group in Prince Albert, Danny Kid said. “I’d invite everyone who has decorated the outside of their house, apartment, condo, yard…whatever, to take a picture and submit it as an entry. Good luck, and thanks for the twinkles”

At the end of the contest, there will be random draw of all the entries for a prize.
