As part of the carnival celebrations we invite all shops and traders in the town to decorate their window(s) and take part in the annual Window Dressing Competition.

The more traders join in by dressing your windows, the more you contribute to a brighter town for carnival week. 

There are three prizes:

1ST

2ND

3RD

As well as the three awards we will also award a Carnival Window Star; plus two Highly Commended.

Windows will be judged on Impact, Effort, Originality and most of all – Carnival Spirit! The themes for your interpretation are “whatever Floats Your Boat” and “Fill Your Boots”.

The judges will have a close look at your efforts in the wee Sat 8th August and winners will be announced on our facebook page @falmouthcarnival.

*ONLINE ENTRY CLOSES AT 12PM SATURDAY 1ST AUGUST 2026. JUDGING WILL TAKE PLACE WEEK OF MON 3RD AUGUST 2026
