PRESS HERE

Welcome to the Burning Man Press Resource Center

The Press Here section of the Burning Man website is designed to help journalists prepare for the event. All media outlets must register with the organization prior to arriving on site. The media team is here to help you get your story, but the most important thing to remember is that you are a citizen of Black Rock City and are expected to comport yourself accordingly.

Please keep in mind that Burning Man is a private event. Professional photographers and ALL moving film and video camera users are required to sign use agreements that will be emailed upon approval of a project. Written permission is required to use any image from the event commercially or publicly; no public use of any image may be made without this written consent.

Also please remember that we do not provide press passes for the event and you must have a ticket to attend. It is imperative that you get you ticket prior to attending the event as no tickets will be sold at the gate. Buy your tickets now at http://tickets.burningman.com/.

To apply to cover the 2009 Burning Man event, visit http://forms.burningman.com/. The final deadline for film and video projects is July 24, 2009. All other press must register by August 7, 2009. We strongly recommend registering as early as possible. As we draw nearer to the event, our Press Team volunteers get increasingly busy with media inquiries and registration questions. We will be better able to field your individual questions about your projects early on in the season. Each year, we grant permission to only a percentage of media projects. Please give us the most detailed information possible on your registration form so that we can make the most informed decision about your project.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!

If you have an urgent question, you may contact us at press (at) burningman (dot) com or via our Press hotline at (415) TO FLAME.

Note: If you are shooting film or video only to show your friends and family, you do not need to register as press. Information about personal use video cameras can be found here. Personal use still cameras are permitted at Burning Man and do not require a written agreement, but any image use beyond personal use must be approved in writing post-event.
