Built for Festival PR Teams and Media Coordinators

Whether you're running an intimate indie festival or a multi-day mega-event, controlling photo pit access and ensuring legitimate media coverage is crucial. This template helps you:

• Collect professional portfolios with image uploads and links to published work
• Verify publication credentials and editorial assignments
• Manage pit access requests for specific artists and time slots
• Assess photographer experience and coverage plans
• Streamline approval workflows with conditional logic and automated responses

The form captures everything you need to make informed credentialing decisions—from outlet reach and social media presence to specific equipment and coverage intentions—replacing scattered email threads with one organized submission process.

How Paperform Elevates Your Accreditation Process

With Paperform's doc-style editor, you can customize this template to match your festival's brand, adjust access tiers, and add festival-specific requirements. Conditional logic shows relevant questions based on publication type (print, digital, freelance), while file upload fields let photographers submit portfolios and press credentials directly in the form.

Once submitted, use Stepper to automate your approval workflow: route applications to the right reviewer, send approval or waitlist emails automatically, trigger credential creation in your badge system, and sync approved photographers to your media database. This keeps your PR team focused on building relationships rather than chasing paperwork.

For festivals requiring signed media agreements or photo release terms, add Papersign to automatically generate and send contracts for eSignature upon form submission—ensuring every accredited photographer has agreed to your terms before credentials are issued.
