Here is the latest news on accreditation for the 2023 Eurovision song contest in Liverpool.
Journalists, influencers and representatives from fan community media outlets can apply to be accredited for the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) from the end of February. The precise date on which the accreditation platform will open will be communicated shortly.
Please note a number of changes have been made to media accreditation for the 2023 Contest.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Professional journalists and those working exclusively for traditional media outlets at the event, can apply in the M category. You will be asked to upload supporting evidence of your role (a copy of a national or international media card or proof of employment by your respective organization) in order to complete your application.
Digital Influencers and content creators can also apply in the M category.
Those working for media solely dedicated to coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest (fan community media) can apply in the FM category.
In both categories you will be asked to give details of the reach of your publication, and any associated social media platforms, and details of your planned coverage of the event in order to complete your application.
Representatives from both traditional and fan community media will also be able to apply for online-only accreditation to enable remote coverage.
In all cases, when approving applications, priority will be given to representatives from outlets with the highest reach.
Should there be multiple applications from the same media outlet, again, reach will be considered when allocating the number of accreditations for an individual outlet.
If you are working for
- National;
- Regional or;
- a local media outlet
in a participating country your application will be reviewed by the Head of Press for the broadcaster from that country.
If you are working for
