Spread holiday cheer for a chance to win up to $200 off your electric bill!

Do you go all out with holiday decorations? Midstate Electric Cooperative invites you to participate in our 2nd Annual Light Up the Season Contest! This year, we're adding an exciting new feature—a community Holiday Light Map to make it easier for everyone to enjoy the festive displays across our service territory.

Our interactive map will pinpoint the stunning holiday light displays, helping neighbors and visitors alike discover the brightest, most creative decorations in the area. Whether you're driving through rural neighborhoods or exploring from nearby towns, the map will guide you to the most spectacular sights, making your holiday experience even more magical.

Many of our members have the space and freedom to create expansive, eye-catching displays. We want to celebrate that creativity and dedication by sharing your hard work with the community.

Show off your glowing masterpiece by entering the contest and registering your home to be featured on the map! No special themes or guidelines—just bring your creativity and holiday cheer!

Let’s make this holiday season unforgettable with lights and joy shining across our community.
