Media Accreditation

As a round of the FIA World Rally Championship, Rally New Zealand has firm guidelines for media accreditation set out by the FIA, the international governing body of motorsport. Please follow the instructions carefully. Queries can be directed to our Accreditation Officer, Lance Hastie, via email lance@rallynz.org.nz
 
Detailed guidelines for all media are included in the Media Accreditation Guidelines.  However please note, that these guidelines will be updated in January 2010 when the FIA provides their updated 2010 acceditation guidelines and that the current guidelines may change.

As a general guide:

• Print media accreditation is only granted to “working media” of publications on sale to the general public via retail outlets. PR and marketing personnel, publishers, sub-editors and the like will not be accredited, nor will writers or photographers working for trade, club or internal company publications.
• New Zealand print journalists, photographers and radio station news staff must fill in the National Media Accreditation Form which will be available via this webpage early in 2010. The deadline will be Wednesday 7 April 2010.
• Personnel working for New Zealand websites and TV networks, and international radio stations must apply for accreditation directly with North One Sport (formerly ISC), the WRC broadcast rights’ holder. Accreditation applications can not be processed by Rally New Zealand. Full details will be available in January 2010. The deadline for applications to be received by North One Sport will be Wednesday 7 April 2010.
• International journalists and photographers, and all press agencies must apply directly to the FIA Media Delegate for accreditation. Please contact Sandrine Gomez, FIA Communications Assistant sgomez@fiacommunications.com, ph: +33 143 125812, fax +33 143 125818. The deadline will be Wednesday 14 April 2010.

 
Resources available for Non-Accredited Media

Given the strict requirements for accreditation for the FIA event, the Rally New Zealand team provides a number of resources for non-accredited media, such as regular press releases, and access to high resolution images before and during the event from our pool photographers and on-event material such as driver quotes.

If you would like to be added to email list for Rally New Zealand media releases, please email your details to our Media Manager, Kate Gordon, kate@rallynz.org.nz, and provide the name and type of your media organisation, your job title, the reader, viewer or audience numbers and a brief note how you intend to utilise the Rally New Zealand material.
