Inside the Hollywood Walk of Fame selection process

The Hollywood Walk of Fame features over 2,800 stars and attracts 50 million visitors annually. Each star requires a rigorous application process evaluated by a committee based on longevity in entertainment, awards and charity work, with a sponsorship fee of $85,000 covering ceremony costs and star maintenance. Anna Martinez, producer and vice president of media and talent relations at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, oversees all Walk of Fame ceremonies and selections, with notable recipients drawing crowds of up to 4,500 people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
