NEWSROOM

Media registration for the 53rd annual event is open until September 15, 2025. Click below to apply.

If you have questions, please reach out to Beth Hoops at beth@midcoast.media

GFPBR welcomes and works with members of the media from all media platforms including broadcast, print, photographer and digital media. To qualify for media credentials you must be a member of the media (traditional or digital), meaning the work you produce at The Great Forest Park Balloon Race must be developed to be shared with a larger audience, on a qualifying media platform. 

If your sole purpose for seeing media credentials is to build a portfolio, stock images, “spec” or for sale/resale you can still attend the event, just not with media credential..
