Who this is for
If any of these describe you, apply. The pitch matters more than the follower count — we'll say yes to a strong local angle from a small outlet before a copy-paste post from a big one.
Journalists & editors
Staff writers, freelancers, editors at newspapers, magazines, city guides, culture publications, food and travel outlets.
Photographers & videographers
Editorial, documentary and event photographers or video crews shooting on assignment for an outlet or portfolio.
Broadcast · TV · radio · podcast
Producers, presenters and crews from TV, radio or podcast networks planning a segment, feature or episode.
Influencers & content creators
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack or newsletter creators covering Berlin, culture, Asian communities, food, music, family or lifestyle — 5,000+ engaged followers preferred.
Community & culture media
Asian community publications, diaspora newsletters, embassies and cultural institutes covering pan-Asian life in Germany.
Student & campus press
University newspapers, magazines and radio stations — reach doesn't matter as much as the pitch.
What you get
Accredited press and creators get more than a wristband — we build the story with you.
Complimentary tickets (1–2)
Full weekend access to Saturday and Sunday programming. Additional passes on request for confirmed crews.
Press-area access
Stage-front photo positions during the dragon and lion dance opener, K-Pop showcase, taiko drum set and evening headline.
