The new Gold Press Pass program embodies all the vital information and features needed based on the real experiences of our press photographers and the assignment editor of Today's Photographer International magazine. Collectively, the Gold Press bundle represents a total state-of-the-art "systems" approach designed to get you and your camera to the action.
1. The GOLD SEAL which appears throughout the credentials, is emblazoned with the American Image PRESS logo to distinguish the new credentials with all of it's improvements, from the original landmark Press Program. It is a result of carefully reviewing every "gain access" situation experienced over the past 15 years. We expect this new program will achieve markedly increased results across the board, for all kinds of events, all over the world.
2. ISSUING INFORMATION has been added to the credentials which is extremely valuable for gaining access in those particularly tough situations when credentials are being scrutinized for every piece of validating information. Nationality, sex, date and place of birth add verifiable information often required by uniformed officials in law enforcement, fire and emergency, the military, customs and immigration.
3. CLASSIFICATION is now based on a full 4-tier range of publishing credits starting at A for yet-to-be published photographers and reaching to AAAA for those who are published frequently.
4. COMPLETE BUNDLE of all credentials and Internet Verification is automatically shipped to those who enroll in the Gold Press Program. Members no longer have to decide whether the Badge style or Passport style credential works better for the events they cover or whether covering weekend or after-hours events warrants the Internet Verification option or not. You get it all.
5. INTERNET VERIFICATION All Gold Press Pass holders will be assigned a verification code printed on the face of all the credentials. This code can be used to verify your assignment status with Today's Photographer magazine by press officials 24 hours a day EVERY day from anywhere in the world. The Internet Verification site is at www.aipress.com/verify.
6. VERIFICATION UPDATES Now you can go online using your Verification Code and update your own Assignment Verification record. You can change your mailing address, add an email address or change other contact information in seconds.
7. PUBLISHING CREDITS Now you can actually display the names of the publications that have published your photos right on your Internet Verification site so press officials can see your breadth of experience. And... you can use your Verification Code online and update your list of publishing credits as often as you like, without having to call the American Image office.
8. RECENT ASSIGNMENTS Now you can display your recent assignments on your Verification site so press officials can see what kind of events you've been covering. And... you can use your Verification Code online to update your display of recent assignments as often as you like.
9. EXPIRATION DATE At last, we have added an expiration date to our Press Credentials. As great as the "lifetime" press credentials may seem, there are big drawbacks. "No expiration date" is the single largest reason for problems being accepted in some venues, not to mention that photos become outdated. Gold Press Pass holders will be able to renew their credentials every 3 years to keep them current, and they will get a whole new set with each renewal.
10. NEW FEATURES Even at the same price, the Gold Press Pass program has features enumerated here that aren't even available in the previous program. The addition of door-opening "Publishing Credits" and "Recent Assignments" alone may achieve more in gaining new access as our original Press Program concept born in 1985.
