Media Policy

Photos of the competition will be available for purchase from the official photographer. No other photographer will be allowed in the arena during classes. Professional photography equipment, and cameras with lenses larger than three inches are not allowed. Professional photographers capturing images for sale, or any persons mass capturing images for the distribution on social networking sites, are not allowed without express written permission of the organization and the official photographer. Once permission is granted, a media pass will be given by the official photographer. Please reference the NOHSA website for a complete media policy and to request media credentials. Social media coverage is considered commercial photography or video, unless provided by a recognized magazine or digital publication, and therefore is not eligible for press credentials. This includes professional “lifestyle” and/or “influencer” content creation. Exhibitors have the option of contracting with the official photographer or videographer for specific coverage during the show or for photo shoots on the show grounds for advertising and social media distribution.
