Accreditation forms are available from Kate Silvers at Fast Track (details below). All international media applying for accreditation at the Paralympic World Cup will require a letter of authentication from their National Paralympic Committee to verify their status as a journalist or photographer with an interest in elite disability sport.
Applications for media accreditation must be made exclusively using the form.
Once the media accreditation application form and letter of authentication have been received by the Paralympic World Cup Media Office, your application will be processed and confirmation of acceptance will be sent out by email. Please note media accreditation will not be issued via post but will be available for collection in person from the Victoria and Albert Marriot Hotel, Manchester, from Tuesday May 19.
All accreditation applications need to be received by April 17.
