media and press

Rikon is filled with interesting events, inspiring guests, creative cosplayers, and a fun atmosphere! We look forward to your arrival and your reporting – so please present Rikon in the best possible light.

To ensure transparent cooperation, please pay attention to the following instructions.


Who can obtain free media accreditation?

We award media accreditation to media representatives:

  • Television journalists and production teams
  • Radio journalists and presenters
  • Print media journalists
  • Journalists of active online portals with editorial staff
  • Professional photographers working for the media
  • Bloggers with over 1,000 followers and a documented audience
  • Content creators (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) with more than 2,000 followers and a clearly defined type of content that matches the Rikon theme


For others (smaller blogs, micro-influencers, and hobbyists), approval may be possible with additional verification — in which case, please send us:

  • Links to previous event announcements (if any)
  • A brief plan of what you plan to do on Rikon, how much content and in what period
  • Channel(s) where the content will be published


Unfortunately, we do not grant free tickets to people who do not have clearly documented and regular media work, nor to profiles that do not meet the above criteria.

If you are not sure if you fall into this category, feel free to send us a brief description of the media you represent, relevant links, and examples of previous event reporting.


What do we expect in return?

Everyone who obtains free media accreditation (regardless of the size of the media outlet) is obligated to prepare content about Rikon:

  • Event announcement (before Rikon) – article, video, social media post
  • Reportage or reportage video – from the field, during the convention
  • Photo gallery – tagged with events
  • Post on social networks with quality content and a visible tag @RikonRijeka
  • Post-event article, blog, video or story


Mandatory delivery of materials

So that we can share your content, all accredited media are asked to send us an e-mail with links to the published material no later than 10 days after the end of the convention to: info@RikonRijeka.com


Press materials

Current press materials, logos, photos and basic information can be found in the PRESS KIT (link below).


Reserving a media ticket does not automatically guarantee approval, but we strive to respond quickly and transparently!
