4. FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Private photography and videography, as well as non-commercial posts on personal social media channels, are permitted on the event grounds without prior authorization. However, if the footage is to be used for commercial purposes—such as advertising, paid collaborations, or media productions—prior written authorization from the organizer is required. The same applies to the use of professional recording equipment: Since we assume commercial intent in this case, permission is also required for this, regardless of the stated purpose.
Drone flights and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles are strictly prohibited throughout the entire premises, without exception. Please submit any requests for permission in advance to: [email protected].
