Southern Company's Georgia Power and Falcons Launch Holiday Cheer Contest for Community Engagement

Georgia Power and Atlanta Falcons Unite for Holiday Cheer Initiative

Georgia Power partners with the Atlanta Falcons to launch the "Light Up the Holidays Contest," a festive initiative designed to spread holiday cheer and promote community service across Georgia. Running from November 28 to December 12, this Instagram-based promotion invites participants to showcase their holiday decorations or community service efforts. By sharing their festive spirit online, Georgians have the chance to win attractive prizes while fostering a sense of community engagement during the holiday season.

To participate, individuals must follow @ga_power on Instagram, comment on the contest announcement post, tag two friends, and post a festive photo using the hashtags #GeorgiaPower and #ShowYourGlow. The contest encourages creativity and goodwill, inviting residents to reflect on their holiday traditions and community contributions. Finalists will be announced on December 15, with public voting taking place from December 15 to December 22. This interactive approach not only engages the community but also highlights the importance of sharing joy and support during the holidays.

The grand prize for this festive competition includes four sideline tickets to the much-anticipated Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in January, along with a $5,000 donation to a charity of the winner’s choice from a list of designated 501(c)(3) organizations. Additionally, the winner receives a hotel stay in Atlanta valued at $600, an Energy Savings Kit, and surprise items from the Atlanta Falcons. The second-place winner is awarded a $2,000 charity donation, admission to a local holiday light show valued at $200, an Energy Savings Kit, and a surprise item from the Falcons, further emphasizing the spirit of giving and community involvement.

Beyond the contest, Georgia Power's collaboration with the Atlanta Falcons showcases a commitment to community engagement, reinforcing the company’s role as a responsible corporate citizen. By fostering connections within the community and encouraging acts of service, the initiative not only lights up the holiday season but also strengthens the bond between residents and local organizations. As the contest progresses, it highlights how corporate partnerships can effectively promote goodwill and community spirit, especially during a time when many seek connection and joy.
