In Highbridge, Tina Bale of 54 Poplar Estate won first place while Darren Bird of 25 South Avenue was second.
The prize for the shared entry went to Mountbatten Close in Burnham-On-Sea while No 14 Mountbatten Close was highly commended.
The prize for the best-decorated shop window in Burnham, judged by Burnham Chamber of Trade, went to Flowers & Things in The High Street. Highly commended were Central Hair Studio of Abingdon Street, and The Royal British Legion in Victoria Street.
The prize for the best-decorated shop window in Highbridge, judged by Highbridge Chamber of Trade, went to Sandra’s Hairdressers; while highly commended were St Margaret’s Hospice in Market Street and Mike Jones TV Services in Church Street.
