For all e-mails please write date(s) of event and venue (Davies Hall, Greek Theatre, etc.) in subject line.

Do not send Word attachments; send the release in the body of the email.

2. Send snail mail to: Datebook Listings, San Francisco Chronicle, 901 Mission St., San Francisco CA 94103. Please write the kind of listing (Art, Nightlife, Theater, etc.) in the lower left-hand corner of the envelope.

3. Fax (least preferred method) to (415) 495-2067. Please write kind of listing, date(s) and venue on cover page.

All listings should be brief: one paragraph of description (at most). Plus, clearly and on separate lines:

  1. When: time(s) and date(s)
  2. What: Kind of event and title
  3. Who: performers' names/company name
  4. Where: venue and FULL address
  5. Public info: phone number for public to call and Web site (if available)
  6. Contact: submitter's name and phone number or e-mail

Datebook listings cover San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. In addition, we have a Destinations section that covers a select number of the same kind of events in the Napa-Sonoma, Monterey-Carmel, Tahoe-Reno and Las Vegas areas. Because of space limitations we often don't have room to include events in other California areas.

Once the items are in the database, they will appear on SFGate.com. And you need to submit only once for the Pink, daily Datebook and SFGate.

We welcome jpegs for events as well, but no .zips or .tiffs, please. 1. Send just one jpeg (300 dpi or more) per e-mail to listingsphotos@sfchronicle.com, and one per event. 2. In the subject line write (in this order): topic (NIGHTLIFE/CLASSICAL/ART/DANCE, etc.), dates, artist's/production's name and venue. 3. In the body include caption information (who and in what production), photographer's name (for credit), a short press release repeating info from subject line, plus address, phone, web address, time, prices and media contact.

    • The Guardian listings deadline is two weeks prior to our Wednesday publication date. To submit an item for consideration, please include the title of the event, a brief description of the event, date and time, venue name, street address (listing cross streets only isn't sufficient), city, telephone number readers can call for more information, telephone number for media, and admission costs. Send information to Listings, the Guardian Building, 135 Mississippi St., SF, CA 94107; fax to (415) 487-2506; or e-mail (paste press release into e-mail body - no text attachments, please) to listings@sfbg.com. We cannot guarantee the return of photos, but enclosing an SASE helps. Digital photos may be submitted in jpeg format; the image must be at least 240 dpi and four inches by six inches in size. We regret we cannot accept listings over the phone.
