MoCo Featuring Residents' Holiday Decor Photos Online: Submit Now

GAITHERSBURG, MD — Decorating your home for the holidays? Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich wants to see it.

"I know this year has been extremely difficult for so many of us — for our friends, families, and neighbors," Elrich said. "As we head toward the shortest day of the year on Dec. 21, I ask you to take a moment and look around your house and your neighborhood and submit a photo of a decoration or display that makes you smile or brightens your day, or literally, your night. It can be a drawing, decorations on a house or houses, a winter plant display, or something else that makes you smile or gives you a moment of respite."

Residents are invited to share photos of their decorated homes and neighborhoods to https://forms.montgomerycountymd.gov/f/holiday. All submissions will be displayed on Montgomery County's Flickr page, and some will be featured on the homepage of the county's official website.

Photos must be submitted by Friday, Dec. 18. They must include the resident's name, email address, and the area of the county where the photo was taken.* Residents submitting photos of someone else's home must first receive permission.

*NOTE FROM THE COUNTY: All photos submitted will become the property of the county and may be used in other ways to celebrate the many views of Montgomery County.
