Judging Christmas light displays is a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
KVOE News Director Chuck Samples toured Americus with City Council member Brittany Hinrichs for that very task Wednesday night. Here are the winners:

Notes
*The Ellis family has won Judge’s Choice for three straight years based on city records. It is also at least the third straight year Americus City Hall has won the commercial category.
*This is also the third straight year of awards for the Burtons — in three different categories. They won Best Lawn Scene in 2018 and Best Use of Lights in 2017.
*The Wells family won the Holiday Lighting Award last year.
