Whether you'd like to be featured in our hard-copy publication Out & About Ocean County or our brand-new web-based event listings calendar, the method for submission of events is the same. Just fill out the  Online Submission Form and submit with one click!

Who Qualifies: Arts, Heritage, and Cultural groups or organizations that are producing an arts, heritage or cultural-themed event taking place in Ocean County.

What You Get: Listing in the web-based event listings calendar as well as the hard-copy publication. Free! (See note below for details).

NOTE: Events will be approved for appropriateness of content by a moderator before they are published. If an event listing contains foul or offensive language, or does not have an arts, cultural or heritage theme, the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission (OCCHC) reserves the right to not publish it. In addition, there is limited space in the hard-copy publication, and due to this fact, all submitted events may not be published. The Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission reserves the right to omit certain listings due to lack of space.

Is there a Deadline?: Online Event Calendar: no deadline. Sumbissions welcome at any time. Hardcopy Publication: We will send out an up-to-date email deadline notice for each issue. If you do not already receive emails from the Cultural & Heritage Commission regarding the hardcopy publication, please email us at culturalheritage@co.ocean.nj.us and we will add you to our list.

In general, the hardcopy deadline falls a month and a half before the publication date. However, sometimes the deadline is extended. For example: October 15th would be the deadline for the Winter Issue, distributed on December 1st.

How to Get Started: Just fill out the form fields in the  Online Submission Form. When finished, hit the "submit" button. Your information will be sent to a moderator for approval. When the moderator approves of the submission, the event listing will appear immediately in the online calendar.

What if an event is cancelled, or event information needs to be changed? If you would like to change information in an event listing, or if the event listing must be cancelled, please notify the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission via email with "Submission Change" in the subject line, at culturalheritage@co.ocean.nj.us, or via telephone at (732) 929-4779
