High Street Christmas lights around the country are being switched on,
photography by Poppy McKenzie Smith @GTOpoppy, but in the small town of Newburgh in
southern Scotland, instead of a designer team taking months to design and produce
the lights, the residents and council have taken a novel approach to the lights
design,
school children were asked to produce designs for the lights,
once a winner is chosen, the artwork is sent to
Blachere Illumination to be translated into LED before it’s unveiled at a
ceremony held at Lamppost 15, where the new work is hung each year,
the winning artist gets the honour of turning on
the light, illuminating the 2,000-plus residents to enjoy, and in a neat move the
runner-up’s art is featured on the town’s Christmas card, all by the people for the people, the full story is here, Merry Christmas!
