Accreditations

All applications will be carefully reviewed by the AFW 2026 organization and will only be considered valid if they are received within the established deadlines and meet the requirements outlined below.

To apply, your proposal must comply with the following conditions:

Media applications must be submitted before the official accreditation deadline.

There will be a LIMITED number of accreditations, and submitting an application does not guarantee approval.

If print, radio, or television outlets also operate digital platforms or web portals, they will not receive separate accreditations for each platform. The number of accredited representatives permitted per media outlet will be evaluated individually.

Photographers and Videographers

Only photographers and videographers with professional cameras and official AFW 2026 accreditation will be permitted access to the designated photo pit.

Photography or videography from the photo pit using cell phones, tablets, or similar personal devices will not be permitted.

Photo pit capacity is limited. Applications from individuals who are not officially representing a media outlet will not be considered.

Accreditations for fan pages, blogs, online radio stations, digital publications, or independent social media accounts will be limited. Approval will be evaluated based on the quality and consistency of content, audience reach, relevance, and quantifiable impact within their respective segment.

Early Accreditations

Aruba Fashion Week 2026 will continue its Early Press Accreditation format, offering additional opportunities to media outlets that begin supporting and covering AFW prior to the event.

• Media outlets approved for Early Press Accreditation and publishing during the designated pre-event coverage period may receive access to a greater number of AFW 2026 events than normally included with standard accreditation.

• During the designated period, participating media must publish a minimum of four pieces of content, either through traditional media formats or permanent social media posts.

• The number and level of accreditations granted will depend on the type of media outlet, audience reach, proposed coverage, and specific guidelines approved for each case.

Important

1. Any proposal received after the official deadline risks not being accepted. Media outlets are encouraged to respect all accreditation deadlines to avoid complications.

2. Press accreditations have no commercial value and cannot be sold, exchanged, transferred, or reassigned under any circumstances. Any unauthorized exchange or transfer may result in the cancellation of accreditation.

3. All interview requests involving designers, models, sponsors, special guests, or members of the Aruba Fashion Week 2026 organizing team must be coordinated in advance through the event’s Head of Communications. Requests should be submitted with sufficient notice to allow proper coordination with the official AFW 2026 schedule.

4. All content published in connection with Aruba Fashion Week 2026 must be shared with the organization. This may be done by tagging Aruba Fashion Week on social media, submitting the corresponding publication link, or providing a PDF/image of the published coverage.
