Festival & Event PR Opportunity
Since 1985, the Southeast Tourism Society has published the Top 20 Events publication. Through a nomination process, the society chooses the Top 20 events going on in the Southeast for each month of the year, and publishes this list of winners quarterly. This publication is sent to over 300 newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations, and others, as well as 125 AAA publications. The combined circulation runs into the millions. Current Top 20 Events are listed online.
Festivals and events in Arkansas may be submitted for the Top 20 Events publication, if they meet the following requirements set forth by the Southeast Tourism Society:
- 1,000 in attendance
- 3rd year in existence
- Payment of $20 nomination fee per event
Top 20 Events strongly encourages you to strengthen your nomination by providing supporting material such as:
- Photos
- Posters
- Brochures
- Press Releases
- News Clippings
- Volunteer Programs
