In the heart of winter, the Czech Republic is lit up with festive cheer as it hosts the national phase of its beloved competition, Vánoční strom Deníku 2023 (Christmas Tree of the Day 2023). This unique contest, now in its 17th edition, invites the public to vote for their favorite Christmas tree, kickstarting a season-wide celebration.

A Nationwide Celebration

Casting a wide net, the competition began with a whopping total of over five hundred festooned conifers from various public spaces across different districts. After initial rounds of local and regional voting, winners from all regions have been determined, and the final national round of voting has been set in motion.

Engaging the Community

Registered readers of Denik.cz have the opportunity to cast their votes hourly from December 17 to December 20. The results are set to be announced both online and in the print edition on December 22, building anticipation and maintaining engagement. The competition aims not just to celebrate the beauty of Christmas decorations, but to foster a sense of community spirit during this joyous season.

More than Just a Competition

The winning municipality stands to gain a substantial prize of nearly a quarter million Czech koruna. However, the spirit of goodwill extends beyond the competition. Denik.cz is offering a Christmas special with gift suggestions, contests for all ages, and opportunities to support charitable organizations. The competition is only open to registered readers, a measure taken to prevent manipulation by automated bots, ensuring a fair and festive competition.
