Artists willing to decorate downtown Langley shops are needed for the upcoming holiday shopping season.

The Langley Main Street Association invites artists to go wild with imagination and holiday cheer and help Deck the Doors to create a beautiful holiday outdoor gallery.

Three winners will be chosen by a panel of judges, and each winner will receive a $1,000 prize.

Deck the Doors, a Langley tradition, helps brighten the town for the holidays and rewards artists for their talents. Last year, decorations were found on more than 40 shops throughout downtown, some featured all hand-crafted decorations, many used imaginative materials to reflect the theme of the shop, others brought humor and smiles.

Doors must be ready for judging by Wednesday, Nov. 25. Winners will be announced Saturday, Dec. 19 at Boy and Dog Park, where the winner of the Langley Chamber of Commerce $1,000 shopping spree will also be announced.

If interested, email mainstreet@whidbey.com for more details. Merchants may contact their favorite artists, receive a list of interested artists from Langley Main Street, or be their own door decorators.
