About the application
The Five Points Festival welcomes press outlets from across NYC and around the world and is happy to provide approved members of the media with a complimentary Press Pass. Before you apply, please understand…
Your Press Pass Has Rules
Your Press Pass allows complimentary access during all public hours as well as during each morning’s VIP Preview.
Your Press Pass does NOT allow early access or special access. Your Press Pass does NOT allow you to cut lines. Your Press Pass does NOT guarantee you exclusives.
Press Passes Are For Journalists & Podcasters Only
Press Registration is open to journalists making regular editorial contributions only. Editorial Press includes Writers, Reporters, Reviewers, Producers, Photographers, and Cameramen who are attending specifically to write about Five Points. Non-Editorial personnel at media companies such as Marketing and Sales staff do not qualify for Press Passes and will not be approved.
Your Press Pass Is Yours
Press Passes are non-transferable. You may not loan or sell your Press Pass, and anyone conducting such behavior will be disqualified from Press Passes at future Five Points events.
Apply Once Per Organization
Please only have one member of your media outlet apply for badges – they can apply for your full team. This person should be your organization’s main contact, and they will be responsible for picking up all of your badges onsite.
Please Don’t Waste Both Our Time
Please don’t apply if you’re trying to scam a badge. If you’ve got a website that hasn’t been updated in six months, a blog that exists only to post your convention reviews or a YouTube channel with two views, you’re not going to be approved.
