Nomination Procedures
Nominations are accepted by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce during a scheduled 60-day nomination period announced to Hollywood's entertainment trade publications and print and broadcast media.
Nomination of an individual or group must be approved by the Walk of Fame Committee, sometimes requiring several annual nominations before a nominee is selected to receive a star. The ten to fifteen most qualified artists nominated are eligible for a star to be installed in the Walk during the subsequent year. Those not selected for the current year are requested to resubmit for the following nomination period.
The criteria for receiving a star consists of the following: professional achievement, longevity of five years or more, contributions to the community and the guarantee that the celebrity will attend the dedication ceremony if selected.
Posthumous awards require a five year waiting period. After the Walk of Fame Committee has made its selections, the Chamber's Board of Directors also vote to approve the star and then, for a final vote, the names are submitted to the City of Los Angeles Board of Public Works Department.
Hollywood citizens and tourists alike look forward to each dedication ceremony with eager anticipation.
To request an application to make a nomination, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Walk of Fame Committee, 7018 Hollywood Blvd., 2nd Floor, Hollywood, California, 90028.
