For the 2022 Christmas Lights Cruise season we again hosted a photo competition to help choose the best Christmas Lights decorated canal home in Mandurah – The People’s Choice Award! Passengers on-board our Christmas Lights Cruises were asked to take a photo of their favourite Christmas Lights house and upload it to the ‘photo competition’ on our website. The house with the most entries would be declared the winner of The People’s Choice Award and all who submitted a photo entry went into the draw to WIN a Mandurah Weekend Escape and other great prize packs.

The Christmas Lights Photo Competition entries have been counted and were announced at the Thank You and Awards night, put on for the Port Mandurah canal residents by Mandurah Cruises, on Sunday 5th February. Here are The People’s Choice for the best decorated Christmas lights house 2022.

1st Prize: 14 Starfire Cl

2nd Prize: 38 Aztec Island Rt

3rd Prize: 21 Starfire Cl

4th Prize: 5 Condor Mews

5th Prize: 26 Picaroon Pl 

The People’s Choice Award place getters were presented with trophies, cheques and prize packs at the Thank You and Awards Dinner hosted by Mandurah Cruises. Other award categories include The Judges Awards, Hall of Fame, Reason for the Season Award, Hot Air Award, and more – see results at the bottom of this article
