Clark Griswold should be so lucky.

killed to enter a contest like this.

Here's why: We're paying the December power bill for our winner!

And here's how it works: If you've got the biggest and brightest outdoor Christmas-light display ever, take a picture of it (a jpg file -- horizontal-shaped -- works best) and attach it to the form below by 5 p.m. Dec. 17.

Our team of experts -- KIT's Dave Ettl, Lance Tormey, Kevin Rounce and Brian Teegarden -- will look them over and each will cast one vote for a winner. Then, we'll post all the entries on our website so you can weigh in, too.

Based on the four votes from our staff and the one collective vote from the public, we'll come up with our finalists.

And during our morning news show on Dec. 22, we'll call in the experts from Inland Lighting to choose our winner.

See? We told you Clark Griswold would've killed for this one. (But please: Don't you kill anyone. It's Christmas, OK?)
