When you add your new Evvnt Calendar you'll want to be sure your local event creators have the ability to easily add their events. We recommend adding this templated copy to the page that your main Evvnt Calendar is placed to help guide event creators and answer any questions they may have about your new calendar. The best practice would be to add this as an "FAQ's" button just above your "Promote Your Event" button.
See FAQ's button example below:

Our community calendar features {insert city/region/etc here} area events from live music at your local bar to storytime at your library and everything in between. We’ve partnered with a company called Evvnt to power our new calendar offering additional ways to promote your event.
Listing your event on our calendar powered by Evvnt gives you more control over your event listing and makes it super easy for our readers and your fans to find your event as well as other events happening in the area.
To list your event, click on this link {enter your Submission URL here - how to find this URL}. You’ll see a form where you can type in the name of your event, a category and the venue. When you start typing, you'll see options and suggestions for categories. Pick the one that is most relevant to your event.
All events are able to be listed for free. At the end of each step, we provide ways to promote your event at various price points. Promoting your event will feature it on the {Publication Name}’s Calendar and across other regional publications and event listing sites across Evvnt’s syndication network. If you wish to have a normal listing, you can always continue for free.
Next, you’ll add in your event details such as the time, descriptions, and websites for your event. If you miss a required field, you’ll be given details about how to fill in the information. One requirement is an image. Here are the recommended image sizes. We also will require a website and an email with each event, so users can contact someone about the event. This website can be anything from your organization’s main website to your Facebook Page - there is a list of website types you can choose from.
To complete submission and monitor your event's progress with our reporting, we need you to sign up or sign in with your account.
If you already have an account with Evvnt, use the email you signed up with.
If you are a new user, you'll be asked to enter the email you want to sign up with. You'll be sent an email there to confirm your password and see how your event is doing.
You'll be given one more chance to promote your event with a paid Premium Listing. If you don't want to do that, you can check the "free" tab and the tab that says "stay free, upgrade later."
After clicking that button, your event should be live on {link to your calendar} within a few minutes. You'll be able to track updates, upgrade to a Premium Listing, edit your event, and access additional email marketing tools through your Evvnt account.
