2015 Christmas Tree Pageant

2015 Christmas Tree Pageant

Thanks for all the Christmas Tree submissions!There were 44 Christmas Trees entries this year. Our family was so excited to see all the Christmas Trees from friends and family all across Canada.

The judging criteria was determined a few weeks ago with the intention of giving all trees a fair chance at winning. Some of the entries were very stunning, but may not have scored well based on the judging criteria. If your tree was scored incorrectly please know that it was an honest mistake. Every effort was made to score each tree as high as possible. Please do not be offended if your tree did not score as high as you would have hoped. All of these Christmas trees (with a few exceptions) are beautiful in their own unique way. This contest was all in good fun, and to help out a charity along the way.

The low points can probably be blamed on the fact the photographer is standing 235ft away from the tree! What's up with that. Next time I will use google map's satellite photos to review this tree.

This is a spectacular tree. It would not look out of place in the lobby of the Chateau Laurier! But after careful analysis, all is not perfect! What is going on with that rogue bulb in the lower left hand corner! C'mon MOM! I expected better!!! Sadly I had to penalize this tree for the carelessness.

DUPLICATE

This is a duplicate picture of another entry. I left this picture up since this is how Christmas looks for parents at 5:30AM on Christmas morning after being up wrapping presents till 3:00AM. Also it is a cool picture
