The Montgomery Beautification Committee will host its annual Halloween Display Contest to recognize homes and businesses for outstanding Halloween decorations. "It quickly has become our most popular decorations contest of the year, as the Montgomery residents manage to raise the bar every year," says Ben Brzoska, Village Trustee and chair of the Beautification Committee.
Residents can nominate their property or someone else's by submitting the property address online at montgomeryil.org. Online nominations are now open through October 18, 2026, at 11:59P. Committee members will visit the nominated addresses on the night of October 21, beginning at 5:30P to judge and award the nominees' displays. Residents are encouraged to ensure their lights are on by 5:00P that evening. The committee kindly asks winners to leave their award signs posted until after Halloween, Saturday, October 31.
Trustee Brzoska adds, "From the large skeletons to the tasteful fall florals and pumpkins, it aids the community spirit, and the Beautification Committee loves recognizing residents who do their part in making Montgomery a great and fun place to live."
The Village of Montgomery Beautification Committee will accept nominations through Sunday, October 18. The contest is open to Montgomery residents and businesses only and excludes unincorporated areas such as Boulder Hill. The nomination application is simple and available on the Village website at montgomeryil.org.
