As one of the Top 20 Festivals in the Southeast, Come-See-Me welcomes
the support and coverage provided by our many media friends. Since Come-See-Me
draws thousands of visitors from surrounding areas and states, media coverage
of the Festival and the many events is critical to Come-See-Me’s
long history of success.
Come-See-Me’s Board and Festival
Chairperson want to do everything possible to support and encourage media
coverage of the Festival. Come-See-Me event Team Leaders or
their representative will greet and assist the media representatives.
Personalized tours may also be arranged. A full schedule of the Festival can
be seen on our website at
http://comeseeme.rockhill.net.
Reporters, camera and sound
operators may carry hand-held equipment to any event and may report from any
accessible public area within the event site.
MEDIA SELF-PROMOTION
RESTRICTIONS
Because the great majority, if not all, Come-See-Me
events are free to the attending public, the Festival depends on its
sponsors to fund the ten-day extravaganza. Without these paid sponsorships,
the Festival could not continue. For that reason, the Come-See-Me
Board has adopted the following rules.
Media wishing to self-promote
in addition to providing coverage are respectfully asked to inquire about
becoming a sponsor. Come-See-Me provides significant benefits
to its sponsors and we would be happy to discuss them with you.
Vehicles,
sound units or other non-handheld equipment must be located only
where directed by the appropriate Come-See-Me individual in
charge of any event, or by the Publicity or Festival Chairperson.
Giveaways, including media identification items, or items from non-official
Come-See-Me sponsors are strictly prohibited except with prior
written approval by the Festival Chair and/or the Board of Governors.
For more information, please call: 800-681-7635 or 803-329-7625. If
your organization would like participate at any venue during Come-See-Me
2003, please
contact us for media clearance and
placement.
