Search to find Harrogate's best Christmas shop window begins
Harrogate Business Improvement District launched its annual Christmas window competition today.
The annual contest was featured in the Channel 5 documentary, Harrogate: A Yorkshire Christmas, last year.
It aims to promote the town centre's shops and encourage people to shop locally using the BID's online directory of shops.
