The media accreditation for Irie Jamboree, North America's premier reggae festival has now started and we welcome all bona fide media organizations, reporters and journalists to cover the event. Preference will be given to organizations and individuals with a proven track record of covering Irie Jamboree or other events in the past. Each application is considered on a case-by-case basis. Irie Jamboree reserves the right to deny or withdraw accreditation of journalists who abuse the privileges so extended. We would love to receive copies of your reports for our files and so we invite you to email them to us. We also welcome your feedback on your experience with our new accreditation procedures this year.
