Here's what it takes to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Kelly Clarkson attends her star ceremony on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame on Sept. 19, 2022 in Los Angeles.In addition to being one a world-famous tourist attraction, the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a high-profile honor. “This is the only award that can be shared with the fans,” Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies, tells. “The Oscar, the Grammy, the Tony is in somebody’s home. This one is on the sidewalk. [Fans] can sit next to it. They can pose with it. It’s an interactive award.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2024 class of Hollywood Walk of Fame inductions. Nominations opened on Friday, April 28 at 12 p.m. PT and will close on Friday, May 26 at 12 p.m. PT. All nominations will be considered at the annual Walk of Fame committee meeting to be held in June. New selections will be announced in mid-to-late June.
This is in part because the Walk of Fame doesn’t want to have a star unveiling without the star in attendance. “And you don’t want to push somebody else out who could’ve gotten that star [who would have wanted it],” Martinez says.From the website: “Due to rising costs, sponsorship fee will increase to $75,000 for all accepted nominations starting with the class of 2024.”
The Hollywood Historic Trust, not the city of Los Angeles, takes care of Walk of Fame repairs and the floral arrangements. “They get a portion of the sponsorship fee,” Martinez says. “The trust was formed to maintain the look of the Walk of Fame and they do other things as well. During COVID, I believe they did a $3 million repair because nobody was on [Hollywood] Blvd. so it was a perfect time to do it.
From the website: “Those selected for stars have a two-year time frame in which to set their ceremony date. The selections expire upon the two-year anniversary of being chosen.”
