# Create a celebration entry

`POST /v1/celebration-entries`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.brixsignage.com`
- URL: `https://api.brixsignage.com/v1/celebration-entries`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Add an entry to the celebration roster. Requires name; also accepts occasionType, occasionMonth, occasionDay, occasionYear, photoUrl, department, title, location, customMessage, sourceId, and externalId, all optional.

**Notes.**
- The 201 body is the row as written, not re-read from the database, so columns the create does not set (for example `lastSnapshotAt`) are absent rather than null. `GET` returns every column.
