HOWDY MEDIA PARTNER, a few things to NOTE:
Welcome to the Silver Spurs Rodeo and thank you for your interest in covering our events! We've compiled this quick guide for all media teams to ensure smooth coverage while respecting the Silver Spurs Rodeo, PRCA, and event guidelines. Please review the following best practices before covering the rodeo.
While we do our best to accommodate all qualified media professionals, please note that submitting a credential application does not guarantee approval.
- Typically, credentials are distributed on an as-available basis to journalists of recognized news outlets who are assigned to cover the event and/or the PRCA. Journalists must represent recognized daily or weekly newspapers; news services; recognized publications and outlets that regularly cover rodeo; recognized national/regional radio and television networks; local radio and television stations; and/or recognized internet sites or influencers. In each case, this determination is at the sole discretion of the Silver Spurs Club, Inc.
- Official Press badges distribution by our team must be worn at all times. Freelance journalists and photographers must provide proof of assignment to be considered for accreditation. Freelance photographers must sign a form agreeing that the images they take will only be used for that specific publication and for that specific story – they cannot be sold over the internet or used in any other way. Proof of assignment can be emailed to kelly@itsjustreach.com or kathydpierson@gmail.com and must await approval prior to arriving on site.
- Credential applications and approved credentials to cover individual rodeo events are available through each rodeo and will be collected at the end of each event. Media credentials should be requested well in advance of the rodeo via this form on our website.
- Security checkpoints and procedures have been implemented for everyone's safety. Accredited media are expected to cooperate with the procedures and requirements implemented for access to the media, photographer, and broadcast areas. Media access will vary by event, and the media rules of the respective rodeo must be followed.
- Media credentials are granted to specific individuals listed on your application and are non-transferable. Misuse of credentials will result in immediate revocation of access.

Upon receipt, the media credential application will be reviewed, using the guidelines outlined above. If your request is approved, you will be contacted via e-mail that lists times and dates for obtaining credentials, press room hours and other pertinent information.
