Christmas Window Display Contest
The Sequel's Better
Every year, our friends at Destination Augusta sponsor a holiday window decorating contest for all the businesses in Downtown Augusta. And we never miss a chance to put our creativity on display—not to mention we had a 2020 title to defend.
This year, we knew we had to go bigger. So we worked alongside our friends at Showpony to create a unified display across two storefronts.
Bandit Together
To defend Wier / Stewart against holiday break-ins, we looked for inspiration from the early 1990's holiday classic Home Alone. We laid out a variety of booby traps and many movie easter eggs for the most devoted fans to discover. We even made sure to loop the classic film-within-a-film Angels with Filthy Souls (to deter the Wet Bandits).
On the Showpony side, we recreated the iconic scene wherein our hero uses mannequins, train sets and record players to evoke a house party and fool the burglars. Onlookers will discover a pair of mannequins in Showpony swag playing poker, another attached to a circulating fan and of course, Michael Jordan.
Help us Win-dow!
In the end, we were honored to be awarded "Best Theme" by the contest judges. However, the contest for People's Choice is still ongoing! We would love for you to:
A. Check out our windows in-person
2. Vote for us for People's Choice!
D. Have a very merry Christmas and holiday season!
"I loved helping source a seemingly-random list of items from the creative team—especially when it involved defending our work home from the Wet Bandits. And the best part is how awesome our windows turned out."
