These are the FIS rules and regulations that all photographers with an on-course photography credential must follow. Photographers must read these rules and abide by these regulations. Failure to follow any rules will result in the confiscation of the credential. The competition jury may also sanction you according to the FIS ICR, article 223.

All on-course photo armbands/bibs will be issued at media registration by the local Chief of Media/Photographers. The number of photographers allowed on-course is determined by the FIS Race Director. This number is a maximum of 40 photographers but may be changed due to special circumstances. Please note that according to the Article 14.1 of the FIS World Cup Rules, "access to the race course is only possible when specially allowed by the Chief Race Director of FIS after clear agreement with the Organizers."

These rules have been established to help ensure the safety of everyone on the race course and to provide the best working conditions for all parties. The photographer takes full responsibility if he/she sustains an injury or any damage to his/her equipment.

2) To gain access to the race course, photographers must display both their event media credential and the on-course photo armband/bib. Please ensure that both are clearly visible to course security personnel.

3.) All on-course photographers MUST be in place ONE HOUR PRIOR TO THE START OF THE FIRST FORERUNNER of the competition. When accessing photo positions, photographers should slip down on the outside of the gates, never on the course.
