Since the launch of the IFPO Gold Press Program in 2000, many of you have repeatedly asked for something more powerful to use with Press Officials. Something more prestigious than the actual Press cards or the Assignment letter. Something that is bold, impressive and sets you apart from other press photographers.

Thanks to your ideas, we've created an Accredited Press Photographer (A.P.P.) Diploma for IFPO Press Photographers. The Charter for Accreditation was signed on January 3, 2005.

The A.P.P. suffix will appear after your name on the Diploma of Accreditation. More important, you will have the inherent lifetime right to use the distinguished mark of A.P.P. following your name for assignments and business purposes.

The Accredited Press Photographer Diploma, perfect for framing, is printed on 8 1/2 x 11" certificate paper of acid-free archival quality for lasting beauty, and embellished with the Official IFPO Gold Seal and foil ribbon.
The Charter for Press Accreditation is printed on the same acid-free long-lasting archival paper.
A convertible textured presentation case displays the Diploma when used as an easel or serves as a portfolio case for travel.
