This writing guide will help you be effective in your free listing on our Community Events page. Please carefully read our guidelines below. Once you are ready, go to our Events Submission page.

The purpose of the Community Events page is to be a resource for listeners regarding activities that they can choose to participate in, especially those hosted by non profit organizations.

• Information should be submitted by the event organizer or by a designated person on behalf of the sponsoring organization or venue.
• Make sure all facts are correct and verified before submitting your event.  Updating previously submitted information for an event may not always be possible in a timely manner.
• Do not type in ALL CAPS – use conventional sentence structure.
• Check spelling – you might consider composing the event description in a word processor to help confirm correct spelling
• Posting multiple day events may be limited to the first three consecutive days of the event.
• Event page posting is at the sole discretion of the radio station.
• We suggest the sponsoring organization host their own web page describing all the details, including directions.

 

Submission form tips

 

Event Title

A short title name of the event  (other information  date, time, place, etc will be displayed elsewhere in the listing)

 

Description 

• Write a short summary of the event. Short sentences work best.
• Avoid overuse of adjectives and excessive punctuation.
• Avoid abbreviations
• Do not include information that will be entered in other boxes below the description.
• If multiple date ranges, place that at the beginning of the descriptions (example: April 1-3, April 7-9)  
• Limit of 750 characters. Shorter details are often more effective

Event date

This is the date the actual event starts. This does not reflect when your listing will be posted online (which is at our discretion).

 

End date

Place the final day of the event. If a one day event, do not fill in.

Time

Select the closest start time to the event.
For the length or ending time of the event, you may wish to include that information within your description.
