The city is asking for entrants into this year's parade now through April 25.
The first 120 entries will be accepted, and the application is free. The 2011 parade, which draws thousands of people every year, is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 14.
The Helldorado Days run from May 12-15.
Those interested are encouraged to keep the festival's Wild West theme in mind as they prepare their applications, the city said in a news release.
Entries will be judged on appearance, theme and creativity, and the winners will be announced after the parade.
