For photographers

Rules for bringing in and using cameras

Photography at the festival is permitted only in compliance with the rules issued by the organiser. Making video and audio recordings is strictly prohibited. Visitors will be admitted to the festival grounds only with non-professional automatic cameras, i.e. compacts (without interchangeable lenses), which may not be used with an external flash. Photography with flash is prohibited.

There is an absolute ban on directly photographing performers during their sets. The only exception is photography for the purposes of the photo competition run on www.ceskeamoravskehrady.cz, which is permitted only during the first two songs of each concert. This measure is in place because of the organiser's contractual obligations towards some performers and the restrictions they have set.

The security service will not admit anyone with a professional camera (a DSLR with interchangeable lenses) to the grounds. DSLRs that the manufacturer has classed as semi-professional or non-professional, video cameras and recording equipment will not be tolerated either. An exception may be granted only to journalists and photographers who have been accredited in advance and have obtained prior consent from the organiser or the performers. There is no entitlement to such consent.
