PR Photographer Plan for 2023 Winter Equestrian Festival

Wellington International requires all PR photographers to apply for a PR Photographer pass (separate from a media credential and private photography credential) if they plan to give OR sell their photos for exhibitor/competitor use. The application process is now open. Please see below for more details.

2023 Winter Equestrian Festival PR Photographer Pricing:

• For agencies with 1-2 photographers taking photos at the 2023 WEF: $300/week of coverage or $3,000 for a seasonal pass (per agency) 
• For agencies with 3+ photographers taking photos at the 2023 WEF: $400/week of coverage or $4,000 for a seasonal pass (per agency) 

PR Photographer Rules:

• Photographers must wear their credentials and bibs identifying them as accredited media/photographers at all times when using their camera. If a bib is lost and must be replaced, there will be a $50 fee. 
• Official WEF photographer (Sportfot) has positioning priority outside of the arenas AND during awards presentations.
• Private Photographers will not be allowed inside the arenas except for award presentations (excluding the Parade of Champions).
• When space allows, there will be seats in the Media Center for Private Photographers and you will be able to use the lockers in the Media Centers. Should credentialed media members need a table or locker and the space is full, Private Photographers will be the first asked to relocate.

• All photographers must submit proof of Accident Liability Insurance with payment prior to arrival.
