One-Time Event Promo + Media Request

One-Time Event Promo + Media Request

Submit your event to be featured in BLK in the City!
Thanks for your interest in sharing your event with BLK Chicago. We are your go-to guide for the dopest scenes in Chicago’s Black community.

This form is for individuals, small businesses, and community organizations.

Spots are limited. Early submissions are strongly encouraged.

While we love supporting as many stories as possible, not all submissions will be selected for promo or coverage due to limited space and alignment with our brand. Plus, this platform is run by one but dedicated person.

If you're a larger brand looking to collaborate or sponsor, please reach out directly at connect@blkchicago.com.

We're excited to build collaborations that authentically support and celebrate Black culture.
