Social Media Accounts on their own do not qualify you for a press pass unless your accounts meet the criteria outlined here
Editorial press members include journalists, reporters, reviewers, podcasters, etc. who are attending for the sole purpose of covering HellmouthCon for an editorial media outlet. Non-editorial staff at media outlets such as graphic designers, marketing, PR, and sales staff do not qualify for media credentials.
Photographers and videographers must be an active, contributing team member of a qualifying editorial outlet in order to be considered for media credentials.
Photography business websites, social media pages, personal blogs, fan sites, and community forums are considered on a case-by-case basis for media credentials.
Complimentary media credentials are extended as a courtesy. Attendees and featured guests are valued and we strive to provide an enjoyable experience for them. As such, all media representatives are expected to maintain a friendly environment for attendees, vendors, guests, and staff at all times. Violation of convention policies or press/media rules may result in revocation of your credentials.
Please note that once your media credential is issued, any requests for an interview with a guest must be made in writing to the our Press Dept no later than 10 days prior to the event. Please know that simply sending in your request does not guarantee approval for interview with guest(s); and not all guest(s) will be available for interviews. Equal consideration will be given to all such requests. No interview requests onsite will be granted. If you contact a guest(s) in contravention of the foregoing, Fandom Charities may immediate revoke your media credentials and eject you from the venue.

MEDIA APPLICATION PROCESS & GUIDELINES
-

-
Each person on your team must submit their own application. One approved application will receive one media credential.

Please know that simply sending in your application does not guarantee approval for a media credential. Prior approval for another Fandom Charities event also does not guarantee approval at any event.

We highly recommend applying as early as possible as media credentials are extremely limited and we will likely reach capacity for media credentials before the deadline.
-
Professional photography, filming, and interviews are not permitted without approved media credentials.
-
You will be notified if you have been approved or denied within 7 days of when you submit your application. Further information will be provided in a confirmation email if you have been approved.
