Please include a written confirmation of your status from your editorial department. A press card cannot replace the proof of your qualifications which are requested.

After your application has been approved we will send you a personal link to the registration form by e-mail. Please upload your digital passport photo (portrait format, jpg, max. 150 dpi) to the registration form.
