Vote for favorite holiday windows

The holiday shopping season is moving into full swing, and the Coastline Pilot is holding its third annual Holiday Window Contest for businesses in the city of Laguna Beach.

Readers are asked to nominate and vote by email for their favorite holiday-decorated Laguna Beach business window by midnight Dec. 18. Mail-in votes must be postmarked by Dec. 16.

Voters are encouraged to comment about what makes the window decoration special.

The winning business will be featured in the Dec. 23 issue, and will receive a gift card from the Coastline Pilot. Other top vote-getters will also be announced.

Voters may vote for as many different windows as they wish but may only vote once per window.

The 2009 winner was Strands and Stitches. Thee Foxes Trot came in first in 2010.

Votes should be emailed to coastlinepilot@latimes.com with “Holiday window contest” in the subject line. Votes may be mailed to the Coastline Pilot, Holiday Window Contest, P.O. Box 248, Laguna Beach, CA 92652.
