Community / Specsavers’ eye-catching display seals victory in festive window competition
SPECSAVERS has been crowned the winner of Living Lerwick’s hotly contested annual festive window competition.
The dual window, designed and decorated with the pupils at Cunningsburgh Nursery, depicts a snowy town scene with added snowflakes made from handprints.
Specsavers has partnered with the nursery for several window displays over the past few years, and its staff were delighted the public chose their Christmas window as their favourite.
The opticians took first place with 111 votes from the voting – taken online and in shops – narrowly beating second placed Ninian by just three votes.
The 2023 winner, Blyde Welcome, was third with 92 votes, and Jamieson’s Knitwear had 70 votes.
Living Lerwick project manager Emma Miller said: “The effort that goes into the window decorations each year is always outstanding and it’s lovely to see the town looking so festive with themed windows and Christmas lights.
“There are only a few shopping days left until Christmas and plenty of amazing gifts to be found in town centre shops – and vouchers for the undecided or for restaurants or salons.
“I’d encourage anyone who hasn’t already been in for a look at these fantastic windows to head in ower and get your Christmas shopping done”.
The Naughty Elf Trail continues up until Christmas, with entry forms available from the Shetland Soap Company.
