Guidelines

  • All proclamations must be submitted at least 21-days prior to the delivery date to allow for approval and final document production.

  • Each proclamation request must come from a Phoenix resident.  This includes requests on behalf of national, international, or out-of-state organizations.  ​

  • Annual proclamations will not be automatically renewed.  Requests must be made on an annual basis.  If the request is for a repeat of a previous proclamation, a copy of that document should be included with the request.
