Film/production (non-news) must be pre-approved by the SUN ล FUN Director of Marketing before receiving credentials. In most cases a separate licensing agreement must be negotiated and the appropriate fee paid. Licensing agreements must be negotiated and completed within 30 days of the event and will not be issued onsite. For additional information contact media@flysnf.org
Photographers
- All photographers should be on assignment from a publication or website (with an assignment letter and outlet credential) OR identified as the sole photographer by an airshow performer.
- Each photographer assigned by a qualifying media outlet is entitled to one media credential for themselves. The request should be submitted by the media outlet โ not the individual photographer.
- Airshow Performers are allowed one (1) media credential for a photographer identified by a team/individual performer. That credential will be included within the agreed to contract between the Airshow Performer and SUN โn FUN.
- No assistants or other crew members are eligible for credentials. Exceptions will be handled on a case-by-case basis by sending an email with a detailed explanation to media@flysnf.org

Social Media, Websites and Digital Newsletters
SUN ล FUN does not automatically recognize websites and on-line newsletters as working media outlets for the purposes of qualifying for media credentials. We understand that many newsletters, websites and bloggers are distributing information to club members and/or the general public and may benefit from interaction with exhibitors and vendors. We are unable to issue media credentials to every digital site or publication. A representative of these organizations is welcome to request credentials via the online application and SUN ล FUN may authorize credentials. If your request is declined, we encourage you to purchase an admission ticket to write / blog / video the experience this year and resubmit the request next year referencing the work you had published.
Student Projects
Student communication studies, videography or similar groups will be considered for credentials for one day of the event. A formal request from the instructor with an outline of the project, names of students, and, ultimately, the final product should be sent to media@flysnf.org
SUN ‘n FUN Media Center
We are pleased to announce that we once again will be able to utilize the Tom Davis Center as the Media Center for the SUN โn FUN Aerospace Expo. Press Conferences will be located at the Press Tent located between the Seaplane Assoc. HQ Bldg and Exhibit space SNF5.
There will be no access to the second floor of the old airshow announcer stand. There may be other locations where credentialed photographers may be escorted, if registered, and they must be in receipt of a SNF Provided Media hi-vis vest to access the photo stand. The Preferred Photo Seating is available for an additional fee.
Several possibilities for media flights will be made available and will be assigned at the discretion of SUN โn FUN and the flight provider. Announcements related to these flights are typically made during the Morning Briefing in the media center.
