The Daily Journal is pleased to announce milestone birthdays free of charge. Announcements run in black and white on Saturdays in the Life section.

For birthdays, we offer a photo and an Announcement starting at 80 years and every 5 years thereafter. In addition to the current photo that accompanies a birthday announcement, we encourage you to include a photo of you when you were younger, such as a high school or college photo.

Making your Announcement is easy. Complete this form and send it to The Daily Journal along with your photograph(s). Announcements run in black and white in the LIFE section of the Weekend Edition. To ensure timely publication, information for birthdays and anniversaries is needed at least four weeks prior to the event. Fifth generation photos must be submitted within one year of the milestone birth.

Submit this form and attach an electronic photo below. For more information, or to receive a form, call (815) 929-2129.

Congratulations on your celebration, and thank you for allowing The Daily Journal to serve you.

Please note: The Journal runs pictures beginning with the 90th birthday, and publishes birthday information beginning with the 80th birthday. The Journal publishes birthdays on the fifth year (ex: 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, ...)
