Dear Media Outlet,
Thank you for your interest in the 2010 Atlanta Jazz Festival. Below you will find pertinent details about this year's event, our credentialing process as well as a media pre-registration form. Media credentials will be available to editorial staff employed by a trade publication, mainstream media outlet (newspaper, radio, television) or online outlets. Freelance writers and photographers must be on assignment with an outlet and have the editor of the particular publication submit on their behalf and state that said writer is on assignment for the outlet. Each print outlet will be allowed to credential 2 writers and 1 photographer. Each radio outlet will be allowed to credential no more than 2 working staff. TV will be looked at on a case by case basis depending on coverage—live coverage, local news, etc. In order to receive media credentials all requests need to be submitted online by completing the following request form. The request form can be accessed through a link at the end of these instructions. The deadline to submit for media credentials is Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Each form must be completely filled out in order to be processed. APPROVAL & PICK UP We ask that you please be patient during this process as we are receiving a number of requests and will need to process each one separately. Media credentials will NOT be mailed out in advance. You will be able to pick up media passes at the event. You will be asked to return each day to media check in to pick up your event passes for each day. This will also allow you the ability to receive updates and pertinent information that may have changed overnight. MEDIA CHECK-IN We will have a media check-in on site it will be open everyday during the festival. As we get closer to the event and you are approved for media credentials we will send out information on location, pick up times etc. PHOTO/AUDIO/TV POLICY All photographers, radio and TV must sign a release form at the festival when picking up credentials. The festival's photo policy is 1st three songs from the photo pit, audio policy is for interviews only (recording of live concert material is not permitted) and TV is 1st 30 seconds of the 1st song unless otherwise arranged. We will notify media registrants at check in of any further restrictions in this policy. All granted a photo, audio, TV pass must agree to abide by festival policies. INTERVIEWS We ask that you do your interviews in advance of the Atlanta Jazz Festival. If you need a contact for a particular artist let us know. We can also help you obtain photos and bios on every artist appearing this year if you need that information. The number of media credentials is limited and applications will be reviewed on a first come basis. 360 Media, Inc. and The Atlanta Jazz Festival reserve the right to determine if an application is or is not eligible to receive media credentials. Thanks so much!!! Tara Murphy and Michelle Marron—360 Media |
