Georgia Magazine publishes a community Calendar of Events each month in its print edition. Listings are due on the 15th, three months in advance of your event's month (example, submit December events by Sept. 15 or before).
Email your event listings to calendar@georgiaemc.com and please include the following information: Name of event, dates, venue, town. Brief description. Direct link to the website with up-to-date information. Public telephone number.
Our readers may want more information, so it’s important to have your website up-to-date and to provide a phone number for readers who may not use the internet.
Event listings are subject to space availability, so we also encourage you to enter your event in our online calendar.
If you have questions, please call our calendar editor, Pam Keene, at (770) 965-3340.
Our readers love hearing about things to do around our state! We welcome representatives from cities, CVBs, civic groups, local venues and other individuals to share events in our online calendar.
To post an event, you must first register for an account. On the Calendar page, click the green "Post Community Event" button and then the link to register for an account. A welcome email to help you finish establishing your account will be sent back to you. Once you enter calendar items, they will stay behind the scenes until a magazine staffer has reviewed it. (Please keep calendar entries brief; all entries are subject to editing. We reserve the right to reject events. Please note that profanity is not allowed.) Events are reviewed weekly. Once approved, your local event will appear in our online calendar.
For questions, email magazine@georgiaemc.com.
Our Snapshot department has been replaced with other occasional departments, such as Georgians at Work, Hometown Heroes, My Georgia and Made in Georgia.
If you'd still like to share an interesting photo with us for possible inclusion in the magazine, please send your high-resolution digital photo—along with all names of people pictured (if a child, please include parent or guardian names), city of residence, electric co-op (if served by one), phone number and mailing address—to magazine@georgiaemc.com. Photos become the property of Georgia Magazine and cannot be returned.
If you'd like to submit a photo for our "Picture this?" contest instead, please email picturethis@georgiaemc.com.
My Georgia is a reader-submitted column focusing on meaningful Georgia experiences. Stories should be no longer than 500 words; photos of author are required for publication. Email mygeorgia@georgiaemc.com. Digital images must be 300 dpi. Writers of published stories receive $100.
To submit a photo: Send your original, high-resolution digital photos of locations that are easy to identify but not too prominent (such as the Big Chicken in Marietta or Stone Mountain) to picturethis@georgiaemc.com. Photos become the property of Georgia Magazine and cannot be returned. To make a guess: Email your guess and your name, mailing address and phone number to picturethis@georgiaemc.com.
Trivia questions and rules for the contest are published in the print and digital editions of the magazine. Email your answers along with your name, mailing address and phone number to trivia@georgiaemc.com.
