Media Credential Application

Those submitting their application before January 8, 2024, will have their credentials mailed if approved.

Those submitting on or after January 9, 2024 as a late applicant will have to pick up their pass in person if approved. Parking is not reimbursed.

The NFMS will be held February 14-17, 2024 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville. Media credentials are free but very limited.

THESE CREDENTIALS ARE FOR WORKING PRESS ONLY. FREELANCE MEDIA MUST HAVE A LETTER OF ASSIGNMENT FROM THE EDITORIAL DIRECTOR.

MEDIA BADGE:
Although there is no admission charge for the National Farm Machinery Show, the media must wear the media badge to identify them as working press. Media credentials are required to enter the Official National Farm Machinery Show Media Room. During the Tractor Pulls, a separate media badge will give WORKING PRESS ONLY admission. Up to ONE CTP media badge may be issued per media outlet. CTP seating placement will be at the discretion of show management. If you are approved for access to this area, you must sign a Release Form online. Limited seating is available. Please be mindful of your space and time in this area to allow other members of the working press access.

THE MEDIA BADGE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE WITHOUT EXPRESS MEDIA DEPARTMENT APPROVAL. PERSONS USING THIS BADGE MAY BE ASKED TO SHOW ADDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION. ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS IN THE TRACTOR PULL PRESS AREA WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. ANY MEDIA BADGES IN THEIR POSSESSION WILL BE REVOKED.
