Proclamations
Proclamations are official, non-contractual documents signed by the Mayor of Salt Lake City in recognition of special community events or significant occurrences.
Requests for proclamations are reviewed individually. The Mayor’s Office reserves the right to refuse a request for a proclamation at our discretion.
Guidelines
- We politely ask that all proclamation requests pertain to people, organizations, or causes that are associated with or have an effect on Salt Lake City. Requests must be made 30 days in advance of the date in which a proclamation is needed.
- Proclamations recognize a month, day, or week, and will be issued no more than once each year.
- Proclamations are generally not issued for private businesses, retirements, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, individual recognition, conferences, or fundraising.
- Proclamations may not be used as part of a commercial promotion without authorization from the Mayor.
- Once a request has been made, the Mayor’s Office will contact you to inform you of the decision regarding the request.
- Proclamations may be modified or altered by the Mayor’s Office.
All the information we require is included on our online application form.
