Annual Door Decorating Contest

One of our holiday traditions at BCI is our staff decorating their office doors. At the Lancaster Center, this always gets the staff and clients into the spirit of the season. I was asked to be a judge this year to pick the winner of the contest. Most of the entries came from the Bridge-Perinatal unit. There was lots of creativity this year, but in the end we went with the most original and the most fun.

The winner: Valerie Brown
Besides incorporating lights, Val’s Santas sing “Jingle Bells” in a motorized, yet cheerful voice to the patient waiting room. Scary? Perhaps. But it brought a smile to our faces, and isn’t that what Christmas is all about?



Honorable Mention: Dawn Mason and Robin Stewart
Dawn and Robin also get points for including lights in their display. We could tell they put a lot of time into the attractive flowers as well.

The rest:

Teresa Evans
Only a month on the job, and she shows she can decorate like a veteran!



Kathy Kelley
She wins the cultural competency award for incorporating several major religions.



Darniese Banks
Darniese conveys the theme of love, peace, and joy with a two-sided display.



Jenn Kutney
Check out the great ribbon. Duct tape – is there anything it can’t do?



Thanks to all who participated this year. From the BCI family to yours, have a wonderful holiday!

This post was the third most visited page on brandywinecounseling.org in November 2008. I never knew so many people decorated their doors for the holidays. Is anyone going to use an idea you saw here? Post a link to your pictures!

I love door decorating contests! Well, I don't do them anymore but when I was in school, my teachers loved have contests often just to cover up the plain Wood doors in the school. I went to a grade school that use to have horrible old doors and windows. Sometime after I no longer went to school there, they updated the look. But it felt like a prison without decorations all over!
