The City of Windsor stages the annual festival over the holiday season in Jackson Park, near Tecumseh Road and Ouellette Avenue.
Over 100,000 people attended the 2021-2022 event, which normally includes light displays and a night market.
The city first launched Bright Lights in 2017, spending $1.5-million to stage the display, which has become a popular family-friendly event every December and into early January.
Winners will be announced live in person at the CEA Gala on Sept. 28, 2022, at the Liberty Grand in Toronto.
