Advertising 
Businesses, community groups and neighbors all advertise in The Bowie Sun, whether it's a upcoming theater season, an estate sale, public notice or job opportunity. Use our self-serve ad builder or event builder to reach a local audience, all at an affordable rate:

Sponsor levels
Sponsors receive prominent placement in a mobile-friendly consumer publication, such as a business directory or themed information guide (back-to-school, summer jobs, voter guides, etc.). Such publications help citizens to better navigate their community. 

In addition to placement in the desired publication, sponsors also receive an ad package for the year on The Bowie Sun website and social media. Sponsor contributions are not tax-deductible. See more details on the support page.

What is free to post? 
There is an option to post events and other "short posts" free of charge in the community section. More details about specific types of posts can be found further below.
