No, Comic-Con is unable to accept any faxed or emailed applications and/or verification materials.

Comic-Con is able to provide complimentary press badge(s) to press outlets that meet the published guidelines and requirements established by the organization. This requires you to provide information and examples of work in order for us to verify the legitimacy of the applying press outlet and work.

Press outlet verification approval status is valid for two consecutive years (for example, approved press outlets for our upcoming convention will be valid for 2026 and 2027), under the discretion of Comic-Con.

Freelance press members’ verification approval status is only valid for the year approved.

Please allow 4 – 6 weeks for processing and review. All press applications are processed in the order in which they are received. The Outlet Key Contact will be notified via email if the press outlet has been approved or declined.

Once your Outlet Key Contact has successfully submitted the Press Application, they will receive an emailed Order Receipt from donotreply@comic-con.org with the subject “Press Application Submission – WonderCon and Comic-Con 2026” The Outlet Key Contact should forward the Order Receipt to pressreg@comic-con.org for further assistance.
