This is an application form for all badminton players wishing to access free images from BWF tournaments from 2023-2026 courtesy of BWF and Badmintonphoto. Since the beginning of 2023, BWF and Badmintonphoto now co-own all image rights and as part of this contract, have opened up free to players. This allows all badminton players with a BWF ID to be able to use these images on their own social and digital platforms free of use. Note, this is restricted to low resolution image downloads only. Players will be granted access to the Badmintonphoto database in the form of a confidential login and password. Matches are randomly selected and there are no guarantees that your match will be featured in the day’s coverage. Badmintonphoto will try to cover major upsets as well as all players involved in semifinals and finals matches. No requests can be done directly to Badmintonphoto. Only players with an updated Gold Pack pass can be guaranteed a higher volume of images (see details below).
Use by off these free access images by third parties is not permitted. Any misuse will result in a closure of your account and possible invoicing.
