Calls for ‘Ireland’s Most Christmassy Home' entries from Offaly

Energia has today launched its annual competition to find ‘Ireland’s Most Christmassy Home’.

Now in its sixth year, Energia, one of Ireland’s leading energy providers, is looking for households in Offaly to enter the competition to be crowned ‘Ireland’s Most Christmassy Home’ and be in with the chance to win up to €6,000 for their chosen charity.

To enter, entrants simply have to share a photograph of their home decorated for the festive season. Full details on how to enter are available at: www.energia.ie/imch-entries

To date, Energia has donated €36,000 to charities across Ireland on behalf of the winners, and this year that figure will rise to €48,000. Previous winners have donated to charities including Alzheimer’s Action Adare, Arklow RNLI, and Wexford Homecare Hospice.

The winner will receive €6,000 for the charity of their choice, while the second and third place runners up will receive €4,000 and €2,000 respectively. In addition to the charity donation, Energia will also gift each of the finalists a €500 Smart Home Store voucher.

Households have until midnight on December 5 to submit a photograph of their outdoor Christmas decorations and light displays online to enter. Energia’s elves will then review all applications and select 6 finalists before announcing the shortlist on Monday December 13. Members of the public will then be able to vote for their favourite home by SMS up until Sunday December 19, with the winners being announced on Monday December 20.

Geoff Codd, Head of Energia Marketing and Retail Development commented:

“Since it first began, the Ireland’s Most Christmassy Home competition has become a tradition for us at Energia and for many people around the country, as much a part of Christmas as the tree or the turkey.

"We are delighted to be able to help to spread festive cheer and good spirits, while also supporting worthy causes. The Energia team are excited to see what Offaly households have in store for us this year and wish all contestants good luck and a merry Christmas.”
