Two shops have shared top honours in this year's competition to find the best dressed window for Christmas.
The annual competition organised by the Guernsey Retail Group celebrates "festive facades" in town and across the island.
For 2022, the judges have awarded top marks to WINK in Le Pollet and the joint Sprinkle of Magic & MYSA shop near the Bridge.
Both will be presented with a trophy after being named as "worthy winners of the 2022 Christmas window competition".

This year’s theme was simply ‘Christmas’ and the judges awarded Wink and Sprinkle of Magic & MYSA top marks against the criteria assessing overall impact, style & theme and how well their window displays draws in shoppers.
Korinne Le Page, Head of Retail Development at the Guernsey Retail Group, said: "The competition is a terrific way for local businesses to add to the festive feel in the run up to Christmas.
"Of the many entries received, Wink were voted top in Town for creatively incorporating products in their window, whilst Sprinkle of Magic & MYSA at 3, New Road on The Bridge really drew passers-by with their magical display."
Alison McDonald, of the judging panel, said it was a joy to be involved again this year.
"This is my second year of judging, and it’s lovely to see so many retailers looking festive. It is clear that a lot of time, energy and thought has gone into the wide range of creations and the themes are also wide ranging, from sharing memories, traditional themes to winter wonderlands."

Wink owner, Lizzie Jarrold, was pleased to win her award. "I think it's great that so many retailers make an effort with their window displays," she said, "and I love to look at other shops as I walk around Town, particularly at night. It is also pleasing to hear customers who come into our store comment that they have enjoyed our display."
Sprinkle of Magic & MYSA owner Callum Penny agreed.
"This is the first year we have taken part in the window decoration competition and we’ve loved it. We provided our window artwork design to local business Little Letters and they made it a reality, then we added our products and finishing touches.
"Customers have commented on the window display and it has become a talking point. We love the festive season and couldn’t be happier with the finished result."
