New Media (websites)

Press admittance is open to journalists working with a commercial news or industry-related website. The website must be established and updated regularly with relevant original and current content. Please provide a link with your request. Web designers, editors and creators do not qualify for media credentials.

Bloggers

Media credential requests from bloggers will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Bloggers must host professional, industry-related blogs with original content. A link to the blog must be submitted along with the number of unique visits per month and how often it is updated.

Please note before making your request:

Press credentials and photo passes are limited and you must be on assignment from a media outlet to cover the Chicago Air & Water Show Festival.

Applicants should be prepared to supply copies of recent and relevant coverage (links are sufficient). Clippings can be from previous year’s coverage or coverage of similar types of concerts and festivals.

College newspapers and photographers will have limited access. Cases will be reviewed and each request must be accompanied by a letter from a faculty advisor on college or University letterhead.

Because you are working, if credentialed, there are no opportunities to bring a guest.

Some Artists’ management will have final decision on credentialing.

Photographers: We appreciate the offer but do not contact us to offer your services. We have photographers in place with the City of Chicago.
