Media accreditation is for those that are covering a race day at the Galway Races. We will be updating our website with details as to how to register for media accreditation in 2024. Please keep an eye on our social media channels for updates. For further information email: sinead@galwayraces.com thank you.
All Photography Accreditation applications must be submitted by Monday 10th July 2023. Under no circumstances will any photographer receive accreditation on the race day itself. Agencies and picture desks please ensure you have applied for sufficient accreditation by this date as there will be no exceptions to this condition.
Galway Races requires photographers to provide evidence, at time of application, of Public Liability Insurance for an industry standard minimum of €6.5 million. Please scan and email this to information@galwayraces.com
All photographers and/or agency or picture desk representatives must attend a mandatory photographer briefing before racing on the opening day of the festival. It is the responsibility of the agency/picture desk rep to relay the information given at this briefing to their contracted photographers.
There will be two levels of photographer accreditation for the 2020 Galway Races Summer Festival
(1) Track/Enclosures (Green Bib)
(2) Enclosures Only (Red Arm Band)
Track/enclosure level is limited to photographers who regularly work at and are familiar with shooting images at sporting,equestrian and/or horse racing events. This level of accreditation will be issued at the discretion of Galway Racecourse. Please only apply for this level of accreditation if absolutely necessary. Track/enclosure photographers will be issued with a distinctive green photographer bib which must be worn to gain access to the designated photographer area on the racecourse. If you do not have and wear this bib you will not be granted access to the track.
Enclosure Only level photographer accreditation will not have access to the race track itself but will be permitted access to all other areas where photography is permitted.
