The festival's organisers are inviting social groups, organisations, commercial companies and anyone who wishes to be a part of the festivities to get in touch as soon as possible. Any interested parties should summit their entries by 5pm on Friday July 11.
The 2008 Manchester Pride Parade will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 25 August, creating a carnival of colour as it weaves through the streets of Manchester city centre.
The team at Manchester Pride are appealing for a wide range of entrants, from the flamboyant and colourful to the hilarious and entertaining.
Original and effective entries do not necessarily require big budgets and large vehicles. Some of the most effective entries can be created through simple coordinated costumes, props or banners.
Jackie Crozier, festival manager of Manchester Pride, said: "Our 18th birthday celebrations will make this year's parade bigger than ever before. I would urge those wishing to take part to submit their applications as soon as possible, to ensure they get a place"
"Joining the parade is an ideal opportunity to place your cause at the heart of Pride whilst demonstrating your support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community."
