MAHA FESTIVAL PASS INFORMATION

A press pass provides access to the Maha Media Center (not backstage). The media center includes tables, chairs, wi-fi access, volunteers to answer questions and safeguard computers/equipment, and a quiet space for interviews. Maha Discovery and Maha Music Festival will have a Media Center area; Maha Opening Night will not.  

A photo pass provides the same benefits as a press pass and also includes permission to use professional photography equipment — and at Maha Music Festival, access to the main stage photo pit. Please adhere to the regulations sent in your confirmation message.

Both the press and photo pass include regular/general admission access to the event you’re covering.

Only one pass is granted per person, so if you are press, but plan to use professional photography equipment to shoot photos for your publication, please request a photo pass.

Only one (1) pass will be assigned per publication unless coordinated in advance by contacting media@mahamusicfestival.com.

 

FREELANCERS

If you are a freelancer, please have an assigning editor submit the form request. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any applications from freelancers that are not officially on assignment for a publication.

 

COLLEGES

If you represent a college publication or radio station, please have an assigning editor submit the form request. Please include the size of your school’s student body under “Publication Info.”
