Media accreditation deadline of 30 June for Zurich 2014 European Athletics Championships
Media representatives are reminded that the accreditation deadline for the 2014 European Athletics Championships (12-17 August, Zurich, Switzerland) is 30 June.
In consultation with the Local Organising Committee in Zurich and taking into account media attendance figures at previous European Athletics Championships, European Athletics set a country quotas for written press and photographers.
Each European Athletics Member Federation has been informed of their country quota for written press and photographers, and has been requested to distribute the website link for the media accreditation process to those they have selected for their quota.
Thus, in order to request the link for the online media accreditation procedure for the Zurich 2014 European Athletics Championships, European media (written press and photographers) should contact the national athletics federation in their country.
Official media hotel rooms are still available on a first-come, first-served basis. The process for booking a hotel room comes after the journalist’s registration for accreditation has been approved.
An important point to note is that due to the unique set-up of the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich, the quota for photographers is strictly limited compared to previous European Athletics Championships.
Media from outside Europe requesting accreditation should contact European Athletics Communication Manager James Mulligan at media@european-athletics.org.
The quotas referred to in this communication are for written press and photographers only.
Broadcast non-rights holders only must apply for media accreditation by registering at the following link (http://arena-bo.european-athletics.org/EBS/Arena.Domain.Registration.Web/Views/Registration/RegistrationForm.aspx?p1=MjA%3d) and downloading and completing the attached form at the link.
