Every retailer who made an effort to decorate their window was automatically entered into the contest, which had the theme of “Christmas in Henley”.
Timber Windows in Hart Street took the first place with its display of a golden nutcracker figurine in a boat.
Mayor Ken Arlett, who was one of judges, said it was difficult to judge a winner as the standard was so high, so we thought we’d offer you the opportunity to choose your favourite from the other entries shown here.

Timber Windows in Hart Street was one of more than 25 businesses judged for this year’s contest, which had the theme of “Christmas in Henley”.
The business has only been open for a year so this was the first time that it had taken part.
The winning display featured a golden nutcracker figurine on a boat full of gifts and was designed by the shop’s marketing team.
“They did a fantastic job it’s very Christmassy,” said Lynette Tweedy, a showroom assistant at the store. “I wanted the boat and the river because we’re right next to the River Thames.” The Helen & Douglas House charity shop in Duke Street, which won the competition last year, was runner-up with its winter wonderland display.
