If you are a parade entrant or sponsor, please register for the parade prior to submitting your material: 2020 Parade Registration

Further, entries may not be insulting or offensive to any ethnic, religious, political or other identifiable group or individual.

Submitting material REPRESENTS that you have the permission to use the material supplied. Parents/guardians must provide consent for any photos of minors and submission of material confirms that the necessary consent has been obtained.

Filming Best Practices

1. Use a video camera or newer phone on high quality settings

2. If using a phone, hold your phone sideways, not vertically

3. Make sure that the brightest light (usually windows) are in front of you, BEHIND the camera. Don't stand with a window behind you.

4. Filming during the day is usually best. The sun is an incredible light. Don't stand in direct sunlight, but rather in a room that is sunlit. Ideally record in a room that isn't a large empty space.

5. Rooms with lots of fabrics, couches, things like that help to dampen sound and make it not echoey.

6. Submit the highest quality version of the file(s) you have. Specific file format is generally unimportant so long as you send the highest quality version you can.

Sample entries

Just as with the in-person parade, we hope that entrants will get creative with the materials they submit! That said, the sample entries below are provided for reference/inspiration.
