Event organisers are being encouraged to make the most of Highland 2007, Scotland's year of Highland culture, by adding their events to the programme. Events celebrating the rich culture of the Highlands and Islands will be added to the many hundreds of events already shown on the Highland 2007 website - www.highland2007.com.
Where possible, events shown on the website will be added to the printed programme for Highland 2007. To be considered for inclusion in the final edition of the Highland 2007 programme, covering events between 1 September and 31 December, full details of events must be entered using the online form by 1 June 2007 -

As a result of a partnership with Highlands and Islands Enterprise and HI-Arts, all events entered via the Highland 2007 website will be included on both the Highland 2007 and the HI-Arts event database, meaning organisers need only enter their event on one or other site.
Alison Bell, marketing and communications manager for Highland 2007, said: "The third edition of the Highland 2007 programme covering events in July and August is about to be launched and will be distributed to households throughout the Highlands and Islands in the coming weeks.
"We want to encourage event organisers throughout the area with events in the final four months of the year to put their event details online to ensure as many as possible are included in the next edition of the programme. We want to show everyone just how much is going on in the Highlands and Islands in 2007 and why this is a great place to live and to visit!
"All events fulfilling the criteria will be added to the database and, while the inclusion of all events cannot be guaranteed for the printed programme, we will include as many as possible."
The Highland 2007 programme features events spread across the six strands of culture: arts, language, science, environment, heritage and sport with something to suit all tastes. Events are being added to the programme on an ongoing basis, check the website now for an up to date listing www.highland2007.com
