Please complete this form to request a press credential for The Great Forest Park Balloon Race Weekend.

Media registration for the 52nd event is open until September 13, 2024. 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.
