MEDIA ACCESS TO FESTIVAL EVENTS

• The Media Application process takes place online beginning June 27, 2024, here. Registration closes September 18, 2024.

• There are NO exceptions to the media application close date. All sponsors/partners/ etc. are able to invite their media contacts and influencers to apply to cover their involvement at the Festival. Applications must come directly from the media outlet. Submitting an application does not guarantee access, and no media requests can be submitted once the deadline passes.

• Due to legal guest capacity and/or inventory control limitations, the Festival will not have guest lists at registration and will not provide access to any members of the media or other guests unless they have been previously approved and ticketed/credentialed by the Festival.

• If a sponsor chooses to use their own tickets to invite media to any event, names and outlets must be submitted to Andrea Moreno for approval by September 6 before any invitations are extended.

• The Festival works with Getty photography to capture on-site photos. 

• Photography or Filming Requests made by a Sponsor MUST BE APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY Andrea Moreno and Melanie Miller. All parties MUST complete the appropriate Photo/Video Permission Forms (see FORMS page)
