This is a mock-up of the 2024 Lights in the Heights Ornament. It is not to scale or an exact replica of what the final cloisonné ornament will look like.
A big THANK YOU to all the artists who submitted their designs during the 2024 Open Call for Ornament/Logo Design contest. It is now official we have a winner!
We extend our heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS TO Karla Cisneros for her winning design which recognizes both the Bayou City, NASA, and a favorite Woodland Heights unofficial mascot.
Accompanying her entry and why it is a fitting tribute for consideration, the artist, a proud member of our community, said, "While most people don't necessarily associate dinosaurs with Christmas, here in the Woodland Heights, the "Travisaurus" at Travis Elementary School has sparked the creation of playful and fanciful dinosaur-themed decorations during Lights in the Heights. Imagining our neighborhood T-Rex as an astronaut is a nod to Houston's identity and historic role in space exploration."
"Travisaurus" will be the official logo design for all 2024 Lights in the Heights merchandise, which will be available for pre-order at the Woodland Heights store. In addition, the logo will be featured on signage for this year's event. You can place your order today to be sure you get your ornament! Proceeds raised will be used to secure street closure permits, security and police presence, and provide port-a-cans in addition to signage and other necessary items, helping to make the Lights In the Heights event in December a memorable one.
