The Augusta Chronicle prints notices of events in several sections of the newspaper. Two of the most popular publications for event listings are:
- Applause! A weekly guide to arts and entertainment. Appears every Friday.
- Neighbors sections highlighting local news and events. They include Richmond County Neighbors (Thursdays), North Augusta Neighbors (Thursdays), Carolina Neighbors (Wednesdays and Sundays) and Columbia County News-Times (Wednesdays and Sundays).
Notices of events should be submitted in writing (via e-mail, snail mail or FAX) three to four weeks prior to event for maximum publicity. Two weeks before event is also acceptable. Announcements should include:
- Name of event, and a brief description
- Date and time of event
- Location (name of facility or venue, and street address)
- Ticket prices. A phone number and contact name for more information. Please indicate if this name and number may be published.
