Hey,

Ive been doing sports photography for my uni for a couple of years and was wondering whats the best way to start getting press passes for sports events.

Every form I see online for applying for press passes asks for a media outlet, but I’m not employed with any. What’s the best thing I can do to try and get these press passes

​

Thanks for all the help and replies

    I dont do sports, I do music, but with music the easiest way to get credentials is to find a publication to shoot for.

    You dont need to be employed, it doesnt always need to be a huge publication, just get in touch with the type of publications that would likely use the photos and ask if they can hook you up if you shoot for them.

    If you are shooting for your university you no doubt have contact with your local media. Talk with them and get some insight into how it all works.
