How to Submit an Event to About.com Phoenix

At this time I do not maintain a regular calendar at About.com Phoenix, only a monthly listing of annually recurring events and festivals. Here is what the January calendar looks like.

There are some events that may be annually recurring but are still not included in my calendar, such as:

• seminars
• church functions
• garage sales
• black tie balls
• dinner fundraisers
• silent auctions
• book club meetings
• restaurant specials
• most walks, runs, hikes

Walks, runs and hikes may be submitted as a link request, and I will consider them for inclusion in the Walks and Runs category of the site.

If your event is not a recurring event, or doesn't qualify for my calendar because it is one of the types of events mentioned above, keep in mind that you may post any public event or activity one time in the About.com Phoenix Forum, in the "Local Events and News" folder. You have to sign up to post, but it is easy to do.

If you believe your event would be properly placed in the About.com monthly calendar after reviewing the above criteria, send me an email and I'll consider it. Please include:

1. the name of the event
2. two or three sentences about what will happen at the event
3. the cost to attend
4. the web site where the full details can be found (I only include events where a web page exists with details and contact information)

After reviewing your request, I'll get back to you and let you know if it has been included in the calendar. I always respond to requests one way or the other, so if you don't hear from me after one week, try resending it.
