The 4th of July Home Front Decorating Contest is underway, and The Coronado Fourth of July is calling all Coronado residents to show their patriotic spirit and participate. 

Residents are encouraged to express their creativity by decking out their homes in red, white and blue. 

Promoting the beautification of homes in Coronado, The Coronado Fourth of July partnered with the Coronado Flower show for the competition.

A panel led by Coronado Floral Association Home Front judging co-chairs Kelly Kindorf and Lori P. Smith will judge houses based on their creativity, overall presentation, and appearance of (at least) one American flag and three additional patriotic elements. 

Homes must be decorated by June 24, and judging will occur on June 26 and 27.

In addition to the 10 grandstand tickets, the winner will be announced on June 27 on the CFOJ website, social media, press releases, and at the parade.
