New PSP Media Changes for 2014 Damien's reply:

I still have a few dozen to reply to, so please bear with me.



I won't debate the intent over emails nor a forum, but if you attend any of our events, feel free to come to me and have that discussion. I am easy to find and despite what people think, I don't bite.



I don't thing there is anything I could say that would not be misinterpreted, so I will simply reassure the divisional teams that despite what has been said here there will be plenty of media coverage.



Regarding the new regulations, we will keep everyone updated via our website and Facebook page. Quote: Dear All,



As a Media/Photographer/Videographer present at the 2013 World Cup, the PSP would like to inform you of our new rules concerning what was called Media & Press passes.



For the 2014 season, with the mindset of presenting more professional events to the public, our sponsors and our viewers, the PSP is restructuring the access to the playing fields and players’ area.



Photographers, videographers or anyone falling under the Category “Media/Press” will now be attending the PSP events as:



· Media

· Sponsor’s photographers

· Photographer for hire



Details about the first 2 categories will be discussed directly with whom it may concern. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly: [email protected]



Photographers for hire:



On a first come, first serve basis, the PSP will grant 5 companies the right to access all the playing fields (with the exception of the Pro fields during Pro Division games).



This category is the only category of photographers/videographers allowed to sell their work to the general public.



Each company can be awarded up to 3 passes.



Fees will be as follow:



· Per event (except World Cup): $1200 for the 1st photographer, then $600 for the 2nd and $600 for the 3rd.



· World Cup only: $1500 for the 1st photographer, then $800 for the 2nd and $800 for the 3rd.



· For the entire season: $5000 for 1 photographer, then $2500 for the 2nd and $2500 for the 3rd.



Limiting the number of photographers around the field will give you more room to work with, help you generate more revenue due to less competition, and promote a more professional atmosphere, among other advantages.



Each company will be promoted on the new PSP website: A prominent link as “Official Photographers” will be on the Main Menu. A dedicated page will showcase all the companies registered and each company will have its dedicated page with up to 6 photographs promoting its work with a descriptive text, contact information and a direct link to its website.



You will also be promoted on other media such as our Facebook page (120,000+ fans)



If you are interested, simple get back to me by email and I will provide you with instructions on how to move forward and be one of the Official Photographs at the PSP events.



I am looking forward to see you in Dallas in a couple of weeks.

All the best,

Damien THAREAU On a completely unrelated note, I will now be starting a lemonade stand. 5 cents per cup!

If ever there was someone to keep me at home, it would be you.
