1) Submit your events via our event submission form.

The easiest way to submit your event is by using our handy-dandy event submission form.

It is the quickest way get your event appearing online and prepared for the print issue. It lets you write your content the way you want to, see just how it'll look when it's published online, and you'll get a handy e-mail confirmation when I've approved it for publication. How helpful!

2) It's also ok to email your event info to us.

While the event submission form is easier for both of us, sometimes sending info via email is necessary. If you choose to email the information, make sure to include the following:

• Event name
• Location with street address
• Date and Time (from its beginning to end)
• Cost
• Age
• Brief description (roughly 2-3 sentences/50 words or less)
• Publishable contact info (phone, email, website)

3) About Images

Our event submission form allows you to upload one photo for your event. You can also email the photo to us. (don't forget to say which event the photo is for :| )

Image Requirements:

• No flyers (we won't use them).
• Should be horizontal or square.
• The file must be smaller than 5 megabytes (if you have a larger file, and don't know how to resize it, you can email it to us, or email us a link to the image online somewhere).
• must be in JPG, GIF, or PNG file format
• photos that work well:
  
  • the performer(s)
  • last year's event
  • the event location

4) Expect some alterations.

The Volume One Events Calendar is a curated piece of content produced by our editorial team. As a result, Volume One staff will make some necessary alterations to all event submissions. These alterations are made to fit formatting and style requirements for both our print publication (which features truncated descriptions) and our online calendar.

5) Events that we do not publish

The calendars at Volume One are curated specifically to provide a benefit for our readers and viewers. As a result, not all events are published and we reserve the right not to publish any submitted event. The following types of events go beyond the scope and mission of Volume One's calendars, and so will not be published in print or online.

• 1. Events outside Volume One's coverage area. Roughly defined as Eau Claire, Chippewa and Dunn counties plus Durand, Pepin, and Osseo.
• 2. Passive benefits. e.g: "Eat at This Restaurant and % of your bill will benefit This Organization".
• 3. Events that are not open to the public. e.g: "Members only" events.
• 4. Sales/discounts/specials. e.g: "$5 off local beers on Tuesdays"
• 5. Promotions for activities that aren't happening at a specific time. e.g: "During the next two weeks, use this #hashtag with a selfie at this location to enter a drawing."/li>
• 6. Campaign-style promotions for a business's usual services.
• 7. Events with an expired registration dat
