Press/Media Application

Please read the following before applying for Press Badges:

  • Each year, Banzaicon grants a limited number of free press badges to established media outlets that are heavily anime-themed showcasing what all our convention has to offer.
  • If your primary goal is to write articles, reviews, do interviews, etc, apply for press badges below.
  • There is a maximum of 2 badges per group unless the group can demonstrate a need for more.
  • We cannot guarantee interviews with guests and are granted at the discretion of each guest. 
  • We will work with you to grant access to events you want to cover, but we can not guarantee it. 
  • We only provide weekend access badges to the convention. Banzaicon will not provide room, travel, food, etc. 
  • Personal blogs will not be considered as a media outlet. 
  • If your application is accepted, you will receive a confirmation email with further instructions and the designated location to collect your Press Badges.
