CWEP is proud to reintroduce the “Light Up Carthage” Lighting Contest. In 1938, CWEP first featured a lighting contest to bring the Carthage community together and spread holiday joy, and in honor of our 125th anniversary year, we decided to bring it back! Impress your neighbors and bring cheer to our Carthage community by decorating your home this holiday season. The most festive home in each ward inside city limits and one home outside city limits, will win a sign for their yard as best lit yard in the ward, an award as well as bragging rights for a full year! 

Rules: Entrants must be residential customers of CWEP and must enter to win. (CWEP employees are not eligible). To enter, fill out the form below or stop by our CWEP complex to fill out an entry form. All entries must be submitted by December 15th at 11:59 p.m. Online voting by the community will open on December 17th and end Thursday, December 18th at 11:59 p.m. Winners will be announced on December 18th. Get creative and let’s light up our hometown!
