BetVictor Isthmian League- Photographer Accreditation

We have received a great deal of feedback since launching our photographers accreditation scheme yesterday. We now realise that some of the clauses on the application form are being interpreted in a way they were not meant, particularly that around copyright.

This clause was simply based on what is already written within our league articles. It is not our intention to stop our photographers, many of whom are volunteers, from sharing their work with the media who report on and promote our game.

The accreditation scheme was requested by a number of photographers, and was designed simply to assist those who want to work pitchside, but we can see that we need to revisit it once more and ensure that the final outcome is fit for purpose. It is not, and has never been, our intention to make life difficult for those who give up their time in the promotion of our League.

We will release a further statement once the matter has been further considered by the Board.
