Application for Press Credentials

SacAnime welcomes and appreciates members of the press and media industry who come to our events, and we look forward to building a wonderful relationship with you.

To receive press credentials to cover SacAnime, applicants must first fill out SacAnime’s Press Credential Application Form. Applicants should keep in mind that, just because a given reporter or organization was approved for a prior event does not guarantee credentials for the current event.

Each approved organization will receive up to two complimentary press badges to attend the convention. All press badges are comped and must be obtained through the Press Registration process. Press access will not be given to any individuals who are not approved for a comped press badge.

    SacAnime Interview Procedures

    Interviews with official SacAnime guests must be requested and arrange through SacAnime Press Relations staff. Only registered members of Press may request interviews with official SacAnime guests.

    Interviews will be arranged as guest availability allows; simply requesting an interview does not guarantee that one will be arranged. SacAnime staff works with guests, their publicists and managers, and their industry reps to schedule the guests’ time. This policy is necessary to avoid scheduling conflicts.

    Ad Hoc Interviews

    Ad hoc interviews with general members, dealers, and people other than guests and industry do not require SacAnime Press Relations approval.

    Photography Guidelines:

    Please ask our convention attendees or Guests of Honor for their permission before taking their photograph. Photographing someone after they have specifically requested not to be can result in security intervention or ejection from the convention.

    Many of our attendees are minors. Please ask their parent, guardian, or chaperone for permission to take a minor’s photo and let them know where the photo will be located. Having extra business cards or photo cards to give out is a good idea.

    It is not necessary to ask permission for candid videos of large crowds, but any panels should only be videotaped if ALL panelists agree and you let them know where the video will be posted.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Zachary Dickinson at zacharyscottd@gmail.com with the subject line “Press Question”.
