Please review the Submission Guidelines.

This category is for sites that concern more than one area in the category description.

If the site concerns only one area, please submit it to the proper locality or county. By following these simple guidelines, you will speed the review process, allowing the site to be listed sooner.

The Chicago metro area is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as the counties of Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will in Illinois; Lake and Porter in Indiana; and Kenosha in Wisconsin.

Arts and Entertainment

Serving the Chicago area is NOT qualification for this category. Otherwise, everybody would be listed here.

A photography studio or photographer must offer multiple locations to be considered for this cateogry.

Submission to this category without multiple locations WILL result in extreme delay in publishing the site.

If a locality does not have a photography category, one will be created should you properly submit it to the correct locality.

Also, submitting a site to the 'City of Chicago' category without actually being located in Chicago, is also grounds for HUGE delays in actually getting the site published.
