Only pre-registered journalists will have free entry to the festival, based on a based on a completed online accreditation form. The form is intended for the registration of one person, not multiple individuals. Applicants will be informed about the approval or rejection of their accreditation via email along with organizational instructions.
An accredited journalist must present a valid press identification at the event venue. The organizer reserves the right to refuse accreditation if the organizer's conditions are not met. Accredited journalists will have special identification and their movement within the festival will be precisely defined in the organizational instructions. Movement under the stage of the Main Stage is not allowed except for the STVR crew. The location of the Press Center will be marked on the site map.
Photography is permitted exclusively for accredited photographers. Non-professional automatic cameras without flash use are tolerated near the stages of the Main Stage and the Small Stage.
By entering the amphitheater area, each visitor grants consent and acknowledges that photographs or other recordings of their person from the festival will be used in any technical form to promote the festival during and after the event with unlimited time and territorial use.
The safety and health of festival attendees are our top priorities.
A properly marked security service ensures safety at the festival. They are responsible for protecting visitors and guarding the festival grounds.
Within the festival premises, there is free movement of police, fire, and medical services with their own visibly marked permanent locations. The permanent locations of the state police, medical service, and fire service are properly marked on the information map at the festival venue and are available electronically here.
We recommend that all festival attendees wear their festival wristbands directly on their wrists to reduce the risk of misunderstanding with the organizational staff and security forces.
