Qualifying Media 

Michigan Challenge Balloonfest welcomes and works with members of the media from all media platforms including broadcast, print, photography and digital. To qualify for media credentials, you must be a member of the media (traditional and/or digital), meaning what you produce at Michigan Challenge Balloonfest must be developed to be shared with a larger audience, on a qualifying media platform.
