Local businesses are encouraged to get into the festive spirit early by registering for this year's Glow2680 Star Business and Shopper Christmas Campaign.
Throughout October, Griffith City Council staff will be out and about visiting CBD businesses to encourage participation, however, the promotion is open to all businesses. Registration opens this week, with entry forms, boxes, stars and other promotional material available from Monday 27 October 2025.
Feedback from last year's campaign showed a preference to keep the promotion running for a longer period and beyond Christmas.
Star Shopper will now run from Monday 3 November 2025 to Monday 6 January 2026. This campaign offers customers the chance to win a $500 grand prize or one of five $100 runner-up vouchers when they shop at a participating Star Businesses. The vouchers can be redeemed at the business where the entry form was submitted.
The aim of the campaign is to inspire residents to shop locally, helping to invigorate the Griffith economy during the festive season.
As part of the broader Glow2680 promotion, this initiative gives Star Businesses a chance to boost sales while offering shoppers the opportunity to win a Christmas bonus to spend in-store. The campaign will be promoted on radio, social media and in the Council Catch Up, with businesses encouraged to use the hashtag #Glow2680.
