Pandy's Form Tip
"The more details you share about the heritage behind your event, the faster we can approve it for the main calendar!"
Visual
Guidelines
To maintain the "Modern Heritage" aesthetic of the Explore Chinatown Edmonton portal, we ask all contributors to follow these visual specs. High-quality imagery ensures your event stands out on the map.
Natural Light &
Vibrant Energy
Avoid heavy filters or low-light "flash" photography. We prioritize images that capture natural daylight or the warm, vibrant glow of district neon at night.
Framing &
Aspect Ratios
Events are displayed in both grid and hero formats. Ensure your subject is centered to allow for different crops across mobile and desktop views.
Heritage &
Authenticity
Showcase the "Hands Behind the Heritage." Close-up shots of craft, steam, textiles, and performance are highly encouraged to build district nostalgia.
The Stewardship
Review
Every event submitted to the Explore Chinatown Edmonton portal undergoes a manual audit. We ensure your gathering respects the heritage of the corridor while driving modern engagement.
Intake & Ledgering
Your details are secured in the District Ledger. Our stewards receive an immediate notification to begin the qualitative audit.
Pandy’s Narrative Audit
We review your visuals and description against the "Modern Heritage" standards. We look for high-energy photography and cultural authenticity.
The Verification Seal
Once approved, your event is live on the interactive map and eligible for inclusion in "The Dragon’s Breath" monthly digest.
"I check every entry to make sure our district calendar stays vibrant, authentic, and safe for all explorers."

FAQ
Who can submit an event to the portal?
We welcome submissions from local business owners, non-profit organizations, independent artists, and community stewards. The primary requirement is that the event takes place within or directly supports the Chinatown district.
Is there a fee to list my event?
Standard calendar listings are currently free of charge as part of our mission to revitalize the district. Premium amplification options (such as dedicated newsletter spotlights) may be available through our sponsorship tiers.
How far in advance should I submit?
We recommend submitting at least **14 days** before your event date. While our stewardship review takes 48 hours, early submission ensures your event is included in "The Dragon’s Breath" monthly digest and social media scheduling.
Can I request Pandy for my event?
Yes! Approved events are eligible to request a Pandy appearance. Please indicate your interest in the "Narrative" section of the intake form. Mascot availability is limited and prioritized for high-impact community gatherings.
