Credential requests should be submitted as early as possible. Priority is given to professionals working on assignment for specific media outlets approved by the CFD Public Relations Committee prior to the celebration. Media credentials for freelancers not on assignment will be considered after submitting samples of published work.

Full credentials, valid for all ten days of Cheyenne Frontier Days, will be issued to paid employees of media outlets, writers or photographers with a valid letter of assignment from a media outlet and PRCA photographers with a valid 2008 membership card. Limited credentials, valid only for Monday through Thursday, will be issued on a case-by-case basis to free lance writers and photographers without a valid letter of assignment.

Journalists will be handled on a rotating basis in these areas in order to accommodate assignment needs. Please note that the press deck and ready area are reserved for working media only. No children are allowed.

Dress Requirements

PRCA clothing regulations state that all media personnel and photographers must wear a long-sleeved button-down or western shirt, long pants, boots, and a western hat while present in the photo pit, arena and chute area, and in the cowboys' ready area. This regulation is mandatory with safety as the top priority. In addition, this event is highly photographed for both television and the print media; the clothing requirement also ensures the western flavor of the show. If the requirement presents a problem, contact one of the public relations committee representatives for help.
