City Council got together 12 people or businesses from different creative industries and had them concoct a festive display for a window of a currently

empty shop.

And festive shoppers who check out the windows can also enter to win prizes.

You can vote for your favourite – and if you vote for the winner, you're in with a chance at £500 to spend at any business that's part of the BID.

To enter, scan the QR code that appears on the sign of your favourite display or go to www.itsinnottingham.com/12windowsofchristmas.

The closing date for entries is noon on Thursday 20 December.  The winner will be notified by Friday, December 21 – in time to spend that voucher on last-minute Christmas shopping.

The windows, which will remain decorated through the holiday season, are meant to play on the 12 Days of Christmas theme as 12 gifts to Nottingham.
