Submission Eligibility and Guidelines
Event Eligibility
The Visit Arizona events calendar highlights travel-motivating, tourism-driven experiences for visitors and primarily features annual events, fairs and festivals that encourage travel to the state.
Because travelers plan trips well in advance, we recommend submitting events at least nine months prior to the event start date to allow adequate planning time.
To keep the calendar focused and balanced, we are not able to accept submissions for the following types of events, including but not limited to:
- National or local theatre productions
- National or local tours (e.g., comedians, music concerts, national speakers, etc.)
- Religious events or events that promote religious material
- Charity fundraising events
- Seminars, workshops, networking events, meeting groups and talks
Submitting an event does not guarantee publication as all submissions are reviewed to ensure they meet our guidelines and align with our visitor-focused mission. Approved events may appear on our events calendar and, when relevant, may also be featured in seasonal or themed content across VisitArizona.com.
Guidelines
To ensure your event has the best chance of getting approved, please note the following guidelines:

- A high-quality image that reflects the actual event is required whenever possible

- Images should be landscape-oriented (3:2 ratio), at least 900 × 600 pixels and no larger than 2MB
- Please use proper grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure
- Avoid all caps and unnecessary capitalization
