IMPORTANT: We do
not handle shows. If you are interested in entering an event, you
will have to contact the promoter that is handling that show. We
print a magazine that lists shows, what it cost to get in,
categories, deadlines, other information as well as who to
contact to enter the event. A single issue of our magazine is only
$5 and contains hundreds of events. For information on how to
receive a single issue or a one-year subcription, go to Subscribe now
