WorldPride DC is almost here and Adams Morgan is getting in the spirit! To kick off our month-long celebration throughout June, we are hosting our second PRIDE Storefront Decorating Contest! All Adams Morgan businesses with storefronts are invited to participate/enter the contest for a cash prize. There will be two categories for businesses — Food & Beverage and Retail.

• First place winner in each category will receive a $500 cash prize
• Second place winner in each category will receive a $300 cash prize
• Third place winner in each category will receive a $200 cash prize

Decorations must be Pride-themed and viewable from the sidewalk (exterior decorations). You are welcome to add decorations to the inside of your business as well (bonus points!). Our hope is to come together as a community to make Adams Morgan as festive as possible, increase neighborhood foot traffic during Pride celebrations, and receive increased media attention. Below outlines important contest dates:

• Deadline to enter your business in the contest: Monday, June 2
• Decorations Deadline: Thursday, June 5
• In-person judging: Friday, June 6
• Online Voting: Noon on Friday, June 6 – Midnight, Sunday, June 8
• Winners will be announced on Monday, June 9

We will not provide photographs of the participating business to avoid any unfair edge or disadvantage due to the quality/quantity of photographs. Please visit the businesses yourself or check their social media for images to judge for yourself.
