Parade Rules:

• • No Santa Clauses allowed! There is only one Santa Claus, and he has already been contacted by the Hattiesburg Jaycees.
  
• • No politically motivated floats! The parade is strictly about Christmas, and any entry that strays from this purpose will not be allowed.
  
• • No decorations or costumes which are in bad taste, sexually suggestive or explicit, or otherwise not in the spirit of Christmas. This is a family-oriented event, primarily for the children of our community, and entries that do not conform to that standard will be removed from the line-up.
  
• • For judging purposes, your entry must follow the parade theme. If your entry does not conform to the theme, it will not be judged.
  
• • You must stay in the order given to you by the parade chairman. The order will not be changed on parade day.
  
• • For judging purposes, attach your line-up number on the passenger's side of the first vehicle in your group. The Hattiesburg Jaycees do not supply this; it is your responsibility. A piece of paper with your number on on it is sufficient.
  
• • Each entry must have or create a poster, sign, or banner to represent who they are and what their story theme is. This allows the Judges and the public to determine how well the entry fits with the parade theme. This poster, sign, or banner can be attached to the float or car, or may be carried by a member of your group. The poster, sign, or banner, must be legible and big enough for viewers to read or understand.
  
• • City ordinances do not allow the throwing of candy
  
• • Any performance that stops the parade must be limited to 30 seconds. The police will enforce this to keep the parade moving!
  
• • Absolutely no entries will be allowed without paying! No entries will be allowed to register or pay the day of the parade. Deadline for registration is November 27, 2008.
  
• • Entries must contact the chairman the day before the parade to get line-up positions or check this link for your position. Every entry will be assigned a number - it is your responsibility to get this number from us. Also, as the person in charge of your entry, it is your responsibility to inform everyone in your entry as to what number they are and where to meet you to line up.
  
• • Trophies will be awarded and winners will be notified within a few days after the parade. Winners will also be posted here.
  
• • For the safety of everyone, an adult must supervise all children who may be in your entry. No entry will be allowed to start the parade unless there is a supervising adult present. Make sure children do not get on or off of vehicles until it has come to a complete stop.
  
• • Dance, song, language, attire, float, etc… must not contain vulgar or indecent matter. Please help us to keep the parade a family oriented event.
