EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2024 ACCREDITATION HANDBOOK
Welcome to the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest (“ESC” or “Event”).
We are pleased to provide you with this accreditation handbook (“Accreditation Handbook”), whose
purpose is to serve as a reference tool to acquaint you with Accreditation to the ESC.
All individuals needing to attend the ESC are subject to an Accreditation process. This Accreditation
Handbook presents the ACCREDITATION RULES which apply to the ESC. It explains how and when to request
an Accreditation depending on the Category in which you are entitled to apply for Accreditation, the
procedure that will be followed and the rules to be respected. This document presents the general provisions
applicable to all Categories of Accreditation at the ESC.
The Accreditation Handbook also includes the TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ACCREDITATION TO THE 2024
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST which apply to all individuals applying for and/or obtaining an Accreditation,
and/or wearing an Accreditation Card and which constitutes the contract which has to be accepted by each
Applicant upon submission of an application for Accreditation.
This year, applications for Accreditation will be submitted online via the EBU's chosen Accreditation Platform
(Eventgo) and this manual has been updated accordingly to reflect the online process on the Accreditation
Platform. The main principle regarding the granting of Accreditation remains fundamentally the same as last
year. All rules set forth in this manual are subject to possible change should changes be reasonably necessary
to address safety issues or otherwise protect the legitimate interests of the ESC.
We remain at your disposal should you have any questions.
I wish you an excellent 2024 ESC.
Best regards,
Andreas Schmitz
ESC Event and Security Manager
Every accredited person must wear its Accreditation Card so that it is visible when present in
Accredited Areas.
