"The 58th Annual CMA Awards"

Media Credential Application

CMA Awards
November 20, 2024

PLEASE READ AND SIGN BELOW, INDICATING YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT TO THE FOLLOWING:

1. One CMA Awards media application must be submitted on behalf of your entire media organization; not on behalf of you as an individual. Do not file multiple applications on behalf of your organization or the prospective members of your crew. Additional applications will not be considered. If CMA can grant credentials to your organization, separate instructions will be emailed about how to credential your crew.

2. Media credential requests are evaluated each year. Being credentialed for past CMA-related events does not mean your organization will be credentialed again this year. Being denied credentials previously does not mean your organization will be denied this year.

3. All persons, equipment, backpacks, tote bags, etc. at the CMA Awards will be searched by security personnel. All credentialed crew members must be able to present photo ID at any time.

4. If there are sponsored elements of your Red Carpet coverage, you must disclose to CMA's Communications Team no later than Friday, November 1.

As the credential application coordinator for your organization, you will be notified via email regarding the status of your outlet's request for CMA Awards media credentials. If your request is approved, your notification will include forms and instructions for providing the required information for the individuals to be credentialed.  

THE DEADLINE TO APPLY IS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18th AT 5PM/CT


If you have any questions on the above information, please email CMApress@cmaworld.com.

Please do NOT submit more than ONE application per outlet/platform. If your outlet has different teams (ie. digital vs. editorial vs. on-air), please specify exactly which platform you're applying for. If your outlet is approved, the applicant submitted below will receive another form to provide crew names.
