The Society of Festers opens the application period for accreditations for the graphic media of the 2026 Moors and Christians Festivals
The Society of Festers of the Most Holy Christ of the Agony informs of the opening of the deadline to request the graphic media accreditations for coverage of the Moors and Christians Festivals of Ontinyent 2026.
Interested parties must submit their application through the form provided by the Festers Society within the established deadline. The granting of accreditations will be assessed by the Governing Board, taking into account criteria of informative interest, quality of the work presented and availability of accreditations.
The new rules incorporate several measures with the aim of guaranteeing the correct development of the festive events and facilitating coexistence between participants, the public and graphic media professionals. Among the main innovations is the prohibition of using the mobile phone as main work device, as well as the prohibition of stopping squads, marching bands or music bands, standing within the formations or interfering with the development of the events.
Accredited persons must wear their accreditation visibly, wear clothing neutral colors, preferably black or white, and follow the organization's instructions at all times.
The complete rules and the link to the application form can be found on the website of the Festers Society.
