Levels of Accreditation

First time applicants must choose to apply for Bronze accreditation only. However, the Committee reserves the right to determine the appropriate level of accreditation for successful applicants.

BRONZE Accreditation

Bronze accreditation is the base entry-level category and indicates that the photographer is competent and active at local club and state level motor sport events. Typically, the photographer will focus mainly on servicing their local motor sport community including clubs, competitors, event organisers and local media outlets.

SILVER Accreditation

Silver accreditation indicates that the photographer is competent, experienced and active as a motor sport photographer within their own state and that their work is currently being published. Whilst not limiting the photographer to operations within their own state, the photographer will need to show venue operators, event organisers or promoters at interstate events that they have an assignment which requires their presence and appropriate accreditation; and/or are striving to gain further experience in order to achieve Gold accreditation.

GOLD Accreditation

Gold accreditation indicates a higher degree of professionalism in a commercial sense and that the photographer’s work is being published in national motoring and motor sport publications on a regular basis. Attendance at a number of national motor sport events is essential throughout the season. Applicants must also be able to demonstrate that a significant portion of their income is derived from the provision of their published works and photographic supply.
