The results are in. Here are winners of this year's residential Christmas lighting contest in Bluffton.

The contest is conducted by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce, which awards $500 in total prize money.

One of the guiding rules is an attempt to include different residential display winners each year. Also judges, led by team leader Lauren Beasley, reviewed all lighting displays inside the village limits. In addition, residents who requested to be judged were given special consideration.

Prizes are Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce gift certificates.
