and awarded scores based on innovation, colour and appeal.
Second place was awarded to Castle Pharmacy on Castle Street while Craig’s Décor Centre on Castle Street took third place. Both received an engraved glass trophy as recognition of their efforts.
The Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Joan Baird OBE said: “My congratulations to all the businesses in Ballycastle who made an effort to dress their shop window for Christmas this year. You have really contributed to creating a positive and festive town centre experience for local shoppers and visitors. The judges have selected three winners, but actually it is the collective effort of all the business owners which has made such a beautiful visual impact. This has really encouraged everyone in Ballycastle to get into the Christmas spirit.”
Julienne Elliott, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Town and Village Manager added: “The creativity of the Christmas window displays in Ballycastle has been better than ever. My thanks to the judges who made the difficult decision to select three winners when the quality of the window displays was very high.
